For those who have same Problems as I with installation of Reporting Service on Windows Vista (especially from SQL Express 2005 with Advanced Services Installation Package), here are few useful tips:

Missing Features in IIS don't allow Installation of Reporting Services.

If you got the warning message in Installation of SQL Express 2005 with Advanced Services that IIS or Some Features are missing, then you will not be able to Install Reporting Services. Please check your selection under "World Wide Web Services" In "Turn On/Off Windows Features" if you have following options checked:

Common HTTP Features - Static Content, Default Document, HTTP Redirection, Directory Browsing
Application Development - ASP.NET, ISAPI Extensions, ISAPI Filters
Security - Windows Authentication
Web Management Tools - IIS Management Service, IIS Metabase, IIS6 WMI

With help of above named options, warning in the Installation should be gone!
HTTP Error 403.1 - Forbidden Message running /ReportServer

In Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.0, there are new permission requirements for ISAPI extensions that use a wildcard (*) script mapping.
As the Error Message says: "You have attempted to run a CGI, ISAPI, or other executable program from a directory that does not allow executables to run." you need to edit Permissions on the Virtual Directory to allow scripts to run:

Go to Report Server virtual directory, and Click on "Handler Mappings" and then on the right Actions Pane, click on Edit Feature Permissions and Select the "Script" Options.
