Error installing Reporting Services

Hi,
Trying to install the developer's version of Reporting Services on Windows
2003 Server with SQL Server 2000 SP3.
I click on SETUP.EXE and the very first dialog box comes up and says:
Software components to install:
>Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services Setup Support Files
Error!
Cancel is the only option.
Any ideas?
Thx.
Andy JacobsTry copying the install Dir to the local machine and running from there.

form displays only a cancel button. Wait... Go get a cup of coffee... Tell
the joke of the day to the guy in the next cube... The continue button will
be displayed in a Microsoft second. I think this bad design by Bill's boys.
The cancel button should not be enabled until the install software figures
out what it's going to allow. A lot of folks probably hit Cancel
prematurely.
