From what I understand, it should automatically have it installed. What I have installed right now is SQL Server 2008 R2 and Visual Studio 2008 Developer.
Thanks, Fahad
If you installed the SQL Server 2008 R2 client tools, you will see the Business Intelligence project
templates in Visual Studio 2008.
So, make sure that you installed SQL Server 2008 R2 client tools and not just the Express edition.
Check the following link to understand which SQL Server editions support Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS).
Features Supported by the Editions of SQL Server 2008 R2 - Development Tools
Follow this link to find the steps to install SQL Server client tools.
SQL Server 2008 Client Tools Installation
If you have the SQL Server 2008 R2 Client tools installed, you should see a folder in the Windows Start --> All Programs
option. Within that you should see SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio
. If you don't, then you don't have the client tools installed.
You can also open Visual Studio 2008 and navigate to Help --> About Microsoft Visual Studio
and look for the following components to be installed.
