reg. Installation

Hi all,
I have sql 2000 client installed, with msde and sp 3a.
I am trying to install sql reporting beta version. The
installation abruptly terminates stating 'The setup need
sql server 8 or above with sp 3 installed'. Can anyone
help me in this issue asap.
regards,
Sivi.You have to have an installed instance of SQL Server 2000 (non-MSDE) in
order to install Reporting Services.
