I am trying to reinstall Reporting Services. I installed SQL Server and uninstalled/reinstalled IIS. When I get to the Reporting Services install page I get the message:
The prerequisite check failed for a default report server installation:
The Report Server virtual directory (ReportServer) can't be used for installation. It is already in use by another application. Setup is defaulted to "Files Only" install.
Since I've removed any program from my computer that could possible be using I don't know what could be using ReportServer. The reason I reinstalled was because my virtual directory was misplaced by the system.
How can I do a clean install of RS?
It sounds like the Virtual Directory you used before is still in use. Try installing SQL 2005 with a instance name instead of just the default. The Virtual Directory will then be ReportServer$<instance_name> and Reports$<instance_name>Hope this helps.

|||I tried that and got a new error message (see new thread above).|||delete those virtual directory and then create them freshly|||Been there, done that....I deleted every reference on my computer, uninstalled SQL Server, IIS, & VS, searched Registry keys, took everything off I could find.....still get error messages|||only thing left is that , the virtual directory might be of an earlier instance. so need to look out to delete those things
