I passed the IIS error and installed sql05. Now I am trying to RS, so I tried installing sql05 component report services only. I think I installed ok. Now when I am trying to open the RS, getting this error

I don't know if you ever figured this one out, but I just fixed teh same issue on our server. I had to add ASPNET as an operator on the parent website to get the apps to work.
