Help me install eval, please.

I little experience with sql and no experience with rs. Recently, during a
.net class, the instructor demonstrated rs with the bikeworks db and I was
blown away. I want to give the same demo to the bosses here, so they will
send me to sql and rs classes. Our server is SBS2003 premium with sql
installed, my workstation is XP pro with Visual Studio.net 2003 and sql
desktop, and we also have a server2k we use for terminal services. What
machine should I isntall the rseval on? I seem to get into trouble with all
of them. Please don't send me to our System Administrator, because that's
me.
XP box starts OK, but says the local sql server is not supported. This the
desktop engine installed with studio.net.
2003 box says visual studio isn't installed and it doesn''t seem to like
sharepoint.
2k box says mdac and visual studio are missing.
I'd rather install on my xp box because it will be a while before it goes
into production. I'd just like put on a nice demo.
Thanks, SteveWhat is the version of SQL running on XP? One option would be to run RS on
XP with the RS catalog on the 2003 box. When setup asks where to put the DB
just put in the 2003 box name. Just remember that the user running setup
must have system admin rights on the server with SQL since this user is used
for all DB commands during setup.

for a detailed list of the Reporting Services System requirements.
The general requirements are:
1. Some component of Visual Studio must be installed to use Report
Designer. Installing VB .NET satisfies this requirement.
2. Make a distinction between where report data stored and where the
Reporting Services catalog resides. Data can come from
a number of different sources, however the Reporting Services EVAL
version will only work with SQL Server 2000 Developer,
Standard, or Enterprise editions. Note that in all cases you need to
have SQL Server SP3a installed.
