Background
This article is written on 29-Jun-2022
Please read my earlier article on installing SQL Server 2005 on Windows Server 2022.
https://sardhianto.medium.com/sql-2005-on-windows-server-2022-55a05637b092
Even after successful installation of SQL Server 2005 on Windows Server 2022, we still have not able to install Reporting Service.
SQL 2k5 SSRS installation involves configuring file server, web server, ASP.NET.

Prerequisite
- IIS feature is already installed
- SQL Server 2005 is already installed
- SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2 installer

Configuring IIS 6.0
Open add roles and features

Add roles and features
Install windows role
Choose your server
  • On the Select Server Roles page, click Web Server (IIS). Selecting the Web Server role also selects File Server as role dependency. Click Next.
  • In my experience, I have to manually select “File Server” role
  • In the Role Services page, keep all the items that are selected by default, and then add the following additional items:
    - In Common HTTP Features, select all the items in this section.
    - In Application Development, select ASP.NET. You will be prompted to enable dependent services. Click OK to add the required role services.
    - In Security, select Windows Authentication.
    - In Management Tools, in IIS 6 Management Capability, select all the items.
Various sub selection will prompt
Installation is successful

Enabling 32 bit application in IIS

Open IIS Manager
Click Application Pools
Set application pool defaults enable 32 bit

Installing SQL Server 2005 SP2

Run hotfix.exe
Selection by default
Need restart after installation
Ready to install
Success and reboot
SP2 installation has finished
Launching user provisioning tool
Add user as SQL Server SysAdmin role

Restart the server to complete reconfiguration

Installing Reporting Service (SSRS)

You can also run setup from SQL 2005 installer, but (assuming) SQL 2005 is already installed, then go to “add or remove program”

Modify existing SQL Server 2005
Click blue link to install new component
Point the setup.exe
Note that ASP.Net version check is green
Reporting Service option is enabled
Selecting instance
Service account selection
SSRS not yet configured
Ready to install
Setup is finished

WAIT, YOU ARE NOT FINISHED YET

Install again all the hotfix that you have (up to SP3), to allow SSRS Configuration

Enjoy your SQL2k5 SSRS !
