Installation Error

When installing reporting services, I get the following
error:
"Authz is not installed on this computer. Authz is
required by the Report Server component."
I am allowed to continue the installation. When complete,
I notice that my database server now has the
AnswerWorks2000 database and that Visual Studio .NET 2003
allows me to create the Business Intelligence Projects.
However, I can't view the reports I create on my local web
server. Actually, when I look in the IIS Manager, I can't
find a virtual directory that has anything to do with
Reporting Services.
I found an article that mentions the Authz error:
http://www.win2000mag.com/sqlserver/forums/messageview.cfm?
catid=1741&threadid=117797
It mentions that a patch is going to be available for this
error, but after searching the Q number, I notice that the
patch will only take care of Windows 2003. I'm running
Windows 2000 SP4 with SQL Server 2000 Dev. Ed. + SP3a. I
have installed IIS and have all of the updates from
Windows Update.
My questions are...
1) Is the Authz error the reason why I can publish reports
to the web server?
2) If that is the case, is Microsoft making another patch
for 2000?
3) Is there a fix in the meantime?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Paul DalyReporting Service's server components require that Authz be installed. SP4
should have installed authz but apparently some versions off the service
pack did not contain this dll. You will need to obtain a copy of this dll.
I would contact PSS for resolution on this. Once you have done this you
will need to rerun setup to install the RS server components.

I called support and wound up copying the Windows 2000
version of authz.dll to the WINNT\System32 directory.
After installing with this dll in place, another "tree"
became available during installation that included the
server components.
The rest of the install worked fine.
Thanks again,
Paul
