Reporting Services won't start (SQL Server 2005 Express)

Hi,
I have IIS and SQL Server 2005 Express + Reporting Services.
When you try to configure the virtual directory for RS the manager crashes,
but the directory is created anyway.
However I can't start the reporting service, I get the following exception:
System.ServiceProcess.TimeoutException: Time out has expired and the
operation has not been completed.
at
System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController.WaitForStatus(ServiceControllerStatus
desiredStatus, TimeSpan timeout)
at
ReportServicesConfigUI.Panels.ServerInformationPanel.StartStopServiceTask(Boolean start)
I've seen this on the net a few times, but never a solution.Ok I found the problem and solution.
First of all, make sure IIS is running.
Then make sure ASP.NET 2.0 is enabled and set as the default .NET Runtime
(right click on your website --> properties)
Check the users on your system and see if you can find the ASPNET user,
if not, reinstall the .NET 2.0 redist (after you make sure IIS is running),
because
if finds IIS this time, it'll create the ASPNET user and RS will be able to
start.
