Reporting Services 2005 Error Creating Report Server Virtual Directory

Hi all,
I have SQL 2005 and WIndows 2003 Server, I am an adminsitrator and have
installed SQL 2005 Reporting Services. However when I got to configure
the reporting services the following happens
When creating a new report server virtual directory on our server, (I
am installing to the default web site and the default virtual directory
name 'ReportServer'.)
1) It creates the virtual directory and says The virtual directory was
created and assigned
2) this is followed by a green tick next to 'Change Secure Connection
Level'
3) This is immediatly followed by a message coming up stating
'ReportServicesConfigUI has encountered a problem and needs to close.
We are sorry for the inconvenience.'.
I cant help feeling that it hasnt finished this correctly as the
'Report Manager Virtual Directory' section is still greyed out and I
cannot enter it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
TomHi,
This sounds like a permission error. In addition, what version of Windows
2003 are you running?
Have you checked the Event Log? If so, what other possible errors do you see?
Thanks,
Phillip

Source - NET Runtime 2.0 Error Reporting
Event ID - 5000
EventType clr20r3, P1 rsconfigtool.exe, P2 9.0.242.0, P3 443f597d, P4

I am running on the local machine as an administrator.
The Windows 2003 Edition is Standard Edition.
