Hello, I already have a Reporting Services instance but I would like to create another. How can I do it ? I ran the SQl Server 2008 setup program, add features to an instance, but i can't choose anything, the checkboxes are disabled. Can someone help me ? Thank you.

Hi djraphi23, If you go to add remove programs and repair the installation it will give you option to add another instance of reporting services on that computer. You can add it with a different instance name and it will create seperate directory structure for you. Regards, Vikram Kansal

Thank you for your quick answer. I think I see what you mean, i clicked on "add features" in the add remove programs, i selected the SQL server installation folder, but then i select "add features to an existing instance", all the features checkboxes all disabled ...
