I have a server running SQL Server 2008 R2, and the Analysis and Integration services are running on that server.
I have on my Windows XP PC Visual Studio 2008 and SQL Server 2008 R2 Management Studio.
In Visual Studio, when I go to open a new Analysis Services project, it lets me. However, if I try to open a new Integration Services project it doesn't let me and at the end it tells me that:
To install Integration Services, run SQL Server Setup and select
Integration Services.
So I locate the install media and run Setup and chose this option:
New installation or add features to an existing installation.
However, through the steps, it looks as if it's going to install the server engine on my PC, so I hesitated and stopped the process.
I looked around and found this one How to install SQL Server Management Studio 2008 component only that refers to being able to
install just the Client/Workstation Components
but I didn't see that so far.
I also found this: http://www.codefrenzy.net/2011/06/03/how-to-install-sql-server-2008-management-studio/ and she says to
Run the SQL Server Management Studio installer
What is she referring to? I don't see that in my media.
I wonder, wouldn't it be logical to start the install process with asking Client components or Server components or both?
please uninstall and reinstall SQL Server Management Studio(Client/Workstation Components) on client PC, in order to work with SSIS.
I have SQL Server 2008 R2 Express installed on my workstation. I’m in the process of learning Entity Framework, and wanted to use the Management Studio Profiler to help understand the SQL commands generated by EF.
Since the Express version does not include the Profiler, I installed SQL Server 2008-R2 Developer side-by-side with Express. The installation went perfectly and I had no problem adding my databases to the full Server installation.
The problem is that Management Studio – Complete was not installed with the full SQL Server so I still don’t have access to the profiler. I re-ran the installer so I could install the Complete version, but it is greyed out and I cannot select it for installation.
Can someone help me get Management Studio – Complete installed?
If I have to uninstall the Express version, will that hurt anything (I have VS2010 Ultimate installed as well)?
Thanks!
I ran into this and had the hardest time getting the Management Tools - Complete to install. I finally got it working by running the upgrade. Even though it was already Enterprise edition with nothing obvious to upgrade I went through the update wizard. After that I was able to do the install of the complete tools.
Steps:
Run the installer -> Maintenance -> Edition Upgrade -> follow the wizard.
Then -> Run the installer -> Installation -> New SQL Server stand-alone ... -> ... "Add features to existing install" -> Management Tools - Complete.
To solve the problem I uninstalled SQL express and the Basic version of Server Management Studio.
Uninstalling SQL Express is not intuitive as it does not appear as a separate item in the “Programs and Features” window.
To uninstall it, I right-clicked on “Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 (64-bit)” and selected Uninstall/Change”. This opened a dialog, from which I selected ‘Remove’. I navigated though the process until I arrived at a screen which allowed me to elect to remove the Express version (all items with 'Express' in the name). I also elected to remove Management Studio Basic.
After SQL Server Express and Management Studio Basic were uninstalled, I started the SQL Server 2008 R2 installer; this time I was able to select Management Studio Complete for installation.
The installation process executed normally; when it finished the Complete version of Management Studio was available and I was able to execute the Profiler.
Uninstalling SQL Server Express appears to have done no harm to my system; I was able to modify the Server Explorer data connection in VS2010 to connect to my database in the full version of SQL Explorer.
This process outlined above worked for me; YMMV.
In my case I was trying to install instance features, while SQL Management Studio is a Shared feature.
Another way of installing SQL Management Studio is to install another instance using SQL With Tools or the Advance Services issue. Do not look into another instance that is already installed.

Below is a list of the SQL components that I installed in the Visual Studio 2010 Professional setup. Sadly, while trying to work I could not find SQL Server Management Studio 2008.
Is there a way to download SQL Server Management Studio 2008 separately and install only that component?
Since in the past I installed SQL Server Management Studio 2005 with a whole new instance of SQL Server 2005 and had couple of instances, and it was a bit messy.
I found some articles to be of major use:
This link is an experience someone else had:

This link has the exact steps involved to install everything properly:

My Instructions
I am not sure if my instructions will be 100% accurate, but in my instance, because I installed VS2010 on a fresh copy of Windows 7, the VS2010 installer installs SQL Server 2008 Express for you, so from this point I just need the Management Studio.
What I gathered from these explanations is to do the following:
Download the SQL Server Management Studio install from
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=22973
Run the setup, when you get to the point where it asks you to "Perform a new installation of SQL Server 2008" or "Add features to an existing instance of SQL Server 2008", this part is the CONFUSING PART (HEY MICROSOFT TAKE NOTES, DON'T DO THIS KIND OF STUFF).
As much as you want to select "Add features to an existing instance of SQL Server 2008" DON'T!!!!
You need to select "Perform a new installation of SQL Server 2008". It doesn't sound right I know - it is very confusing and counter intuitive, but this seems to be the way to install management studio. :(
Press next until you see the features selection portion. Heeeeeyyyy look at that, it has a check box for Management Studio. It should be selected already, if not then select it of course and press next.
Press Next next next next next next... basically just install it at this point.
Enjoy, it has installed.
If you have the SQL Server 2008 Installation media, you can install just the Client/Workstation Components. You don't have to install the database engine to install the workstation tools, but if you plan to do Integration Services development, you do need to install the Integration Services Engine on the workstation for BIDS to be able to be used for development. Keep in mind that Visual Studio 2010 does not have BI development support currently, so you have to install BIDS from the SQL Installation media and use the Visual Studio 2008 BI Development Studio that installs under the SQL Server 2008 folder in Program Files if you need to do any SSIS, SSRS, or SSAS development from the workstation.
As mentioned in the comments you can download Management Studio Express free from Microsoft, but if you already have the installation media for SQL Server Standard/Enterprise/Developer edition, you'd be better off using what you have.
Download SSMS 2008 Express
I am just updating this with Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 2008 R2 version. if you run the installer normally, you can just add Management Tools – Basic, and by clicking Basic it should select Management Tools – Complete.
That is what worked for me.
The accepted answer was correct up until July 2011. To get the latest version, including the Service Pack you should find the latest version as described here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2527041
For example, if you check the SP2 CTP and SP1, you'll find the latest version of SQL Server Management Studio under SP1:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=26727
Download the 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) version of the SQLManagementStudio*.exe files as appropriate and install it. You can find out whether your system is 32-bit or 64-bit by right clicking Computer, selecting Properties and looking at the System Type.
Although you could apply the service pack to the base version that results from following the accepted answer, it's easier to just download the latest version of SQL Server Management Studio and simply install it in one step.
For any of you still having problems as of Sept. 2012, go here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2527041 ...and grab the SQLManagementStudio_x(32|64)_ENU.exe (if you've already installed SQL Server 2008 Express R2), or SQL Server 2008 Express R2 with Tools, i.e. SQLEXPRWT_x64_ENU.exe or SQLEXPRWT_x32_ENU.exe (if you haven't).
From there, follow similar instructions as above (i.e. use the "Perform new installation and add shared features" selection, as "Management Tools - Basic" is considered a "shared feature"), if you've already installed SQL Server Express 2008 R2 (as I had). And if you haven't done that yet, then of course you're going to follow this way as you need to install the new instance anyway.
This solved things for me, and hopefully it will for you, too!
SQL Server Management Studio 2008 R2 Express commandline:
The answer by dyslexicanaboko hits the crucial point, but this one is even simpler and suited for command line (unattended scenarios):
(tried out with SQL Server 2008 R2 Express, one instance installed and having downloaded SQLManagementStudio_x64_ENU.exe)
As pointed out in this thread often enough, it is better to use the original SQL server setup (e.g. SQL Express with Tools), if possible, but there are some scenarios, where you want to add SSMS at a SQL derivative without that tools, afterwards:
I´ve already put it in a batch syntax here:
#echo off
"%~dp0SQLManagementStudio_x64_ENU.exe" /Q /ACTION="Install" /FEATURES="SSMS" /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS
Remarks:
For 2008 without R2 it should be enough to omit the /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS flag, i guess.
The /INDICATEPROGRESS parameter is useless here, the whole command takes a number of minutes and is 100% silent without any acknowledgement. Just look at the start menu, if the command is ready, if it has succeeded.
This should work for the "ADV_SSMS" Feature (instead of "SSMS") too, which is the management studio extended variant (profiling, reporting, tuning, etc.)
I'm working on a school project desktop application in c# using Visual Studio 2010 (.NET 4.0) and the application uses a SQL Server 2008 database that's running on a SQL Server instance on the development machine I'm working with.
My question is how do I package up the database with the c# project so that the application works no matter what machine I'm using it on regardless of whether the machine it's installed on has SQL Server installed or not?
Thank you.
use SQL Server Compact Edition (SQL CE)
If it's not a web application and it's making a direct use of the database, how is it going to work without an instance of SQL server running?
I'd make an .msi for the application and I'd write a SQL script for installing the database and populating it with the data.
You can use SQLServer tools for scripting the tables and the data.
I'm doing data migration between two SQL Server 2008 database using SSIS because I need to do some data transformation. I guess I need to use Business Intelligence Developement Studio which I have on my develop machine. But because I don't have SQL Server Standard Edition on my develop machine. The BIDS do not allow me to build the SSIS package. Is there any work around? Thanks a lot in advance!
When you installed BIDS, did you also install the client tools for SQL Server?
Alternatively, you could remote to the dev server and devlop the package directly on the server.
You would normally install SQL Server 2008 Developer Edition on your development box.
SQL Server 2008 Developer enables
developers to build and test
applications that run on SQL Server on
32-bit, ia64, and x64 platforms. SQL
Server 2008 Developer includes all of
the functionality of Enterprise
Edition, but is licensed only for
development, test, and demo use.
