could i have missed Reporting services during installation

I recently installed SQL Express advanced and came across something thats confusing me. When i look at my running services i see the advanced features like SQL Server Full Text Search and the like ,but cant seem to find the reporting service. Is there a chance i skipped over it in the insall I had assumed i would have a service running that would say something along the lines of SQL Reporting Services. I havent come across directions on how to turn it on, so i assume that i missed it during installation

    Have you installed Business Intelligence Design Studio (BIDS) from the 2005 express tool kit If so, were you able to start the application When I try, I get what seems to be sucessful install except when I select BIDS it complains about not being able to find devenv.exe. I even tried to point the short cut to the file in my VS 2003 install but that didi nothing. I understand that BIDS is required to use report services in sql 2005 express. Have yoou had any luck with this

    funny you mention that problem. Firing up that was what first got me rolling onto looking for my reporting services.. I have installed the toolkit twice now and have the same result in it looking for the .exe file. Im going to dig into this issue and maybe start a new thread when i come up with a solution.... Also i think its worth pointing out that i used the sql express toolkit executable to do the install and not the sql express advanced as i mentioned above...

    I definitely messed up the first install. I went back and re-ran the SQL express advanced install file and got the reporting services to show up. It walked me through setup options for the reporting services that i didnt recall from the first time, so hope this reply helps anyone that has a missing feature after their first run...
