ReportService Deployment

I need to create a installation for a group of report on our customer
servers. Based on googling it seems the only way to do this is via script
or direct calls using SOAP and VS.2005 has not direct support for creating
setup programs.
Is this correct or is there a better way?
Regards,
JohnThere is no direct support for creating an MSI to do deployments, but it
would be fairly easy to write one to push the reports yourself.

You can create a setup project and a custom installer that connects to the
report server and, using the web service calls, adds the reports.
I think you can also use RSS to perform installations.
