Additional Components?

I have a clustered SQL installed but never added the
Replication feature along with the initial setup.
Now I ned to configure replication and thought I could
just go back to the origianl setup files, modify the
installation, add the componenets I need...and I'd be
done. No such luck!
When I go through the setup diologue the option to modify
an existing installation is -not- available and I can't
figure out why.
If someone can help me out I'd sure appreciate it....
TIA,
Jay
After you install a virtual instance of SQL Server on your computer, you cannot add the SQL Server components to your virtual instance of SQL Server by running the Setup
program. To work around this problem, you must remove the virtual instance of SQL Server from your computer and then reinstall the virtual instance of SQL Server by
using a custom installation.
This is documented in Microsoft Knowledge Base article
You cannot add SQL Server components to an existing virtual instance of SQL Server by running the Setup program

Adding Viewer Controls to WinForms or Web project

With the release of the feature pack for SQL 2005 and the included Datamining Viewer Controls I was wondering three things. 1) How do you add these controls to your toolbox and 2) Are these controls installed with VS 2005 or SQL 2005 and these are just the redistributable versions for systems where VS 2005 and SQL 2005 are not installed? 3) Is there a description of the controls and what each one does?1) How do you add these controls to your toolbox

In the Winform designer, right click on the Toolbox and select 'Choose Items...' menu item. Hit the Brows button and select file 'Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Viewers.dll'. Hit the OK button to add all the viewer controls to your toolbox.

2) Are these controls installed with VS 2005 or SQL 2005 and these are just the redistributable versions for systems where VS 2005 and SQL 2005 are not installed?

The view controls are shipped with SQL 2005 as well as in its separate redistributable available for download.

3) Is there a description of the controls and what each one does?
You can find description of each individual viewer control in SQL Books online.
