RS: does not work without Visual Studio?

Hello,
i've installed Reporting Services on "Windows 2000 Server" and "SQL Server
2000 SP3a".
During the setup a window popped up with the "System Check Results" showing
a warning that "Visual Studio .net 2003" is not installed.
I've continued the setup process without any other warnings.
Then I've tried to find RS.. it is not in the program menu, there is only
"Reporting Services Books online - english".
There is also nothing in the menuebar of "Enterprise Manager".
Is it really necessary to install Visual Studio on a server'
I hope somebody can help me.
Greetings
Hendrik

You should be able to access the reports server on your server machine at
the following address:
http://<servername>/reports
This should take you to the Reports Manager. You only need VS2003 installed
on a machine that you are going to use to design and develop the reports on.

Services is an asp.net application. That is why you do not see anything in
the different places you looked. Just like any other website/asp.net
application. Only IIS knows about it.
