I am running Windows 8 and need to develop SSIS packages.
The version of SSIS packages I need are SQL Server 2008 R2.
I am new to SSIS but it is my understanding that I need to install SQL Server 2008 R2 and Visual Studio 2010 in order to be able to create an Integration Services project (which will contain my SSIS package).Is this correct?
Does anyone know what I need to install? I have installed SQL Server 2008 R2 and Visual Studio 2010 Premium however I do not get the option of Integration Services project template.
I have Visual Studio 2012 installed but it is my understanding that VS2012 cannot be used for SSIS package creation.
You need Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS) if you want to create SSIS packages with SQL Server 2008 R2 version. BIDS uses Visual Studio 2008 Shell. Visual Studio 2010 is not required for SSIS development with SQL Server 2008 R2.
However, if you are using SQL Server 2012 then you need SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) which uses Visual Studio 2010 Shell.
Answer to the below SO question contains the steps to install Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS) using SQL Server 2008 R2 installer.
How do I enable Integration Services (SSIS) in SQL Server 2008?
Windows 8 and SSIS development for SQL Server 2008 R2 and SQL Server 2012 works fine.
SQL Server 2005 will use the Visual Studio 2005 shell (devenv) for BIDS (Business Intelligence Designer Studio)
SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server 2008 R2 use the Visual Studio 2008 shell for BIDS
SQL Server 2012 uses Visual Studio 2010's shell for SSDT (SQL Server Development Tools). They have a roadmap for using Visual Studio 2012 environment as well but have not released the project templates yet.
For all those choices, you never need to have a Visual Studio installation. The SQL Server installer will put the shell onto your machine and the associated ssis/ssrs/ssas project types when you select the option in the installer.

We are upgrading from SQL Server 2008 R2 to SQL Server 2014 and I tried to install SQL server data tools for 2014 for SSIS, SSAS. From all the forums I read online, I installed Visual studio 2013 on my machine first and then I added SSDT 2014 for Visual studio 2013.
Is this the right way to do SSDT-BI 2014 Installation?
SSDT for Visual Studio 2013 has 2 versions: The one that has only DB tooling and other with BI components. You need to look for "SSDT-BI"
Here you go:
Microsoft download link for SSDT-BI
For VS 2015 and SQL Server 2016, the current version of SSDT comes with both SQL Server tooling AND BI components, so it's one download.
Hope this helps!
If you want to install only SSDT-BI for SQLServer2014, without requiring VS2013 license, then follow the below steps to setup development environment for SSIS, SSRS and SSAS.
Install Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 Shell (Isolated) Redistributable Package
Install Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 Shell (Integrated) Redistributable Package
Install Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013
It's possible to deploy one package SSIS(.dtsx) created on visual studio 2013 on SQL Server 2008?
Why do I need to to upgrade my Visual Studio 2008 to SP1 in order to install SQL Server 2008 Management Studio if I already have Microsoft Visual Studio 2010? How to avoid not to upgrade anymore my Visual Studio 2008 to SP1 to successfully install SQL Server 2008 Management Studio?
If you have Visual Studio 2008 and one or more 2008 Express Editions, you must upgrade all of them to SP1.
I installed MS SQL Server 2008 R2 and it went ok but also automatically installed was MS SQL Server 2008 and Visual Studio 2008. Can I uninstall them? Or are they for some reason necessary for MS SQL Server 2008 R2?
I don't think, MS SQL Server 2008 R2 installation automatically installed VS 2008....Rather, It installs Business Intelligence Development Studio....Business Intelligence Development Studio is Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 with additional project types that are specific to SQL Server business intelligence.
Does Busienss Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS), part of the Visual Studio IDE, come with both SQL Serevr 2008 R2 Developers Edition and also as part of Visual Studio 2008 Developer's Edition?
BIDS is included with SQL Server. It is not part of the regular Visual Studio install. You can get BIDS by installing just the client tools from SQL Server without having to do a full install of the product.
