Reporting Services setup in Vista, simple resolution
Recently on our Development platform we have deployed the Vista operating system to test an application against this installation. Part of the project is to deploy reports for the users using reporting services components, I was able to fix the issues between SQL Server 2005 & Vista but bit struggling with errors such as "Access to the path '<PathName>' is denied" even though running with Administrator login on that machine. Also the other errors when trying to browse the Report Folders. Couldn't find much information on the web and documentation, somehow I was able to fix this issue by executing IISRESET!
Also you need to have minimum set of IIS features for the Reporting Services components to work when you install, such as:
Common HTTP Features - Static Content, Default Document and HTTP Redirection etc.
Application Development- ASP.Net (must) and ISAPI Extension
Security - Windows Authentication
