title: How to Install Reporting Services from SQL Server 2016 Express
body: <p>Trying to test SQL Server 2016 Express and Reporting Services. But I can't select Reporting Services as a feature as described in this post: <a href="https://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/ask">https://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/ask</a> </p>
