Installation of SQL Server w/ Reporting Services

2 questions
1: When installing SQL Server it asks you that Visual Studio.Net needs to be
installed, but all this server will does is display reports and run
sharepoint services.
Does Visual Studio .Net need to be installed? What if I want to write the
report on a development machine and then distribute the report to SQL Server
reporting services. Not real sure. Just like to avoid having to install
development applications on production machines.
2: In the install process, it asks you if you want to use SSL. Right now the
sharepoint site is going to be for internal use only. No outside users will
have access to it. But, later on, we may have outside users in to the
website. Can I install SQL Server without SSL initially and later on if it is
decided that this would be benifical for our customers to view it, we may
open it up to users. How hard is it to reconfigure SQL Server to use SSL or
would it require a reinstall."Roger" <Roger@.discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message

Yeah the interface for the installer is pretty crappy.

No. VS.Net only needs to be installed where you are *designing* reports.

Yes, this is all re-configurable later.
