IIS

Hi,
A few of the machines have not got IIS installed (business related).
Is there a way to install sql server 2005 without having IIS on the machine?
Thanks

From my understanding the IIS Part is only for the reporting services, and som other smaller functions. You should remove the reporting service components and it should install.

Tried that already and still sql server 2005 management studio does not appear.

Are you able to install SQL Server?

What all components are you selcting while installing? Since you are not able to open Sql sever 2005, it seems like you are not selecting tools option.

Could you please give a snapshot of the error that you are getting?

(Thishttp://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143506.aspx mentions that “Reporting Services, which is installed as part of SQL Server Express with Advanced Services, will not install on operating systems that do not include Internet Information Services (IIS)”. There should be no problem in installing SQL server without IIS (We tried in our lab we were able to install SQL Server without IIS).)

Thanks

Management Studio can be installed regardless of whether IIS is installed.

Management Studio is one of the "Workstation components", so you need to check that checkbox on the "Components to Install" page of the setup wizard. If you need to be more selective, you can also click the "Advanced" button the "Components to Install" page, expand the "Client Components" folder, and then install just the Management Tools to your machine.

Hope this helps,
Steve
