how to reinstall SSRS 2008 R2 after uninstall/remove

Question

I followed the steps below to uninstall SSRS and it worked.  But now I need to reinstall SSRS and I followed step 1 & 2 but it's asking for install media.  Since I didn't install the SSMS on this server and the actual databases are hosted on another server, how do I reinstall SSRS?   or there are other means to reinstall SSRS. 

• In Add/Remove programs
• Click the 'Uninstall/Change' button for "SQL Server 2008 R2"
• In the coming dialog, click 'Remove'
• Click 'OK'
• In the 'Select Instance' dialog,  select the appropriate instance, and then click 'Next'
• In the 'Select Features' dialog, please only select 'Reporting Services'
• Then click 'Next' and 'Next' till the uninstalling process starting

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Gabriela,

You don't need the installation media to uninstall a component of SQL Server, but you will need the installation media to install one. 

Hope this helps!
