Can MS SQL 2005 Reporting Services be installed after the rest of SQL 2005 has been installed?

I am installing MS SQL 2005 on a Windows 2003 Server box and for security reasons I would rather not enable IIS and ASP.net at this time (necessary for Reporting Services). I would like to install the other Services now and install Reporting Services later when I am ready to enable IIS and asp.net.  I assume this can be done. I would like to know if there are any issues that may arise when installing Reporting Services in the future.   Thanks,

Wizilling and dqmq thanks for your quick responses and confirming what I had thought.

dqmq:

The installation directions clearly stated that IIS and asp,net must be enabled to install Reporting Services.
In addition, in preinstallation during Configuration check a warning was indicated next to IIS and Asp,net
indicating the same thing about reporting services. In additon, I did not enable asp.net and Reporting Services was greyed out and could not be chosen as an installation option. How do I install Reporting Services without enabling IIS and Asp.net?  Thanks,
dqmq

That's correct.   I didn't mean to imply that you don't need IIS for reporting services, just that you don't need it for SQLServer if you skip the Report Server install.  IIS is a pre-req for Report Server. :>)
Your help has saved me hundreds of hours of internet surfing.
