More info on SQL Server 2005 Express problem install

When I run the setup there is a System Configuration Check page. I get 13
successes and 2 warnings. The 2 warnings are:
Minimum hardware requirement - there is about 37GB free space, 512MB memory,
an Intel Pentium 4 2.4GHz CPU.
IIS Feature requirement - says not installed. Is IIS REQUIRED? Help says
some features may be disabled - that's all.
Then after going through wizard it complained that the SQL Server native
client wasn't available - so ~I will try to download and install that
separately.
Then I get error SQL Server database Services - setup failed. Refer to
setup log - where is that?
There are lots of log files in c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server
subdirectories.
Help please. This is proving a lot harder than I imagined.
AngusI was installing SQL Server 2005 Express Advanced and gave up on that and
installed just standard SQL Server 2005 Express - that worked without a
hitch.

The differences are shown at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/sql/compare/default.aspx if you
wanted reporting services then you would need advanced edition and IIS, but
it should not stop the install of the other components. I am wondering if you
installed the toolkit by mistake?

MOM Reporting Configuration Query?

My current environment is as follows:
MOM 2005 SP1 Frontend & DAS
MOM 2005 SP1 Frontend
MOM 2005 SP1 DB w/ SQL 2000 SP4
SQL Reporting Services 2000 w/ MOM 2005 SP1 Reporting Pack
Will applying SQL 2000 RS SP2 break MOM reporting?No it won't. Whilst the RTM MOM Reporting install complains if RS SP2 is
installed when you try and initially install MOM Reporting, if you apply SP2
after you have installed MOM Reporting it should be fine. I just tried this
and then added some new reports from a management pack and it worked fine.
The link below also has this quote that seems to confirm this
"With MOM 2005 Service Pack 1, you can use SQL 2000 Reporting Services SP2,
which is independent of service packs for SQL Server 2000."
