I am trying to set up RSS. I am using winXP professional OS. I have installed other things like VS.net 2003, SQL server 2000 service pk3 (or 3a), .net frame work 1.1, asp.net, IIS. The installation process does not complain anything, but, I just could not go to the steps to configure the reporting server. So report manager simply won't show up in the "program" menu from "start" menu.

Any one who overcame this or have insight for this, please help.
Or is it mandatory to have Windows server 2003?

Have you tried to navigate to the URL of the report manager?

If you used the default, it should be something like "http:\\reportservername\reportmanger" (or something like that)
