Reporting Service Client

I am asked to install Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Reporting Service Client on
user's desktop. I loaded the CD (Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Reporting
Services) on my desktop, it says:
1. IIS is not installed.
2. ASP.NET is not installed.
3. Visual Studio.NET is not installed.
My question is: Is there a standalone Reporting Service Client I can install
on any user's desktop to access Reporting Servcie Server? Why it asked
IIS/ASP.NET/Visual Studio.NET to be installed on desktop?To access RS and view the reports the client only needs IE. To use the
Report Designer to author (create) reports in the RDL and to publish the
reports to the report server, the client requires the entries you listed
from the RS prerequisites.
