Microsoft MVP, Visual Developer - Visual C#Hello Peter,
I would like to know whether you have installed SQL Express on your
machine. I searched our internal database and found that a lot of similar
issue were caused by the corruption installation of SQL Express.
My suggestion is that you need to remove the SQL Express and then reinstall
the SQL Reporting Services 2000.
Please let me know if this helps.
Sincerely,
Wei Lu
