Error installing SQL Server 2005 Express

I hope someone can help me with this issue. Thanks very much.

At the end of installation I get the summary screen showing that:

I am enclosing some of the log file SQLSetup0002_*_Core(Local).log where the errors start:

Error installing SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition

Hello, I hope someone knows the answer to this issue. I am trying to install SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition and once I get to the screen that is asking for the SQL Server instance and Login Information I receive the following error when trying to proceed.

(Report Server database is a different version and cannot be used for this installation)

I have installed reporting services 2000 developer edition many times and I have never seen this error.

Are you adding a new Report Server to an existing deployment? If so then you are probably impacted by the Service Pack of the SQL Server instance.

I have seen something like this before but can't recall exactly the resolution. However I do recall I was able to find some documentation on this on the Microsoft site.

Sorry can't be of any more help

I ran into the same problem installing Reporting Services on a new web server and I deleted the Report and ReportTemp databases form the server and then the install went fine.

Error Installing Reporting Services

I attempt to run the Reporting Services installation and
get and on the screen right after the license agreement, I
get a message that says just "Error!" and I cannot
continue. Is there a log file somewhere I can look at -
nothing was installed so no directory exists on the hard
disk. I am running Windows 2000, .NET 1.1 framework, and
SQL Server 2000 Development with latest service pack.Here is the contents of a file I found in the temp
directory that appears to have an error at the bottom:
