Business Intelligence Design Studio

[shaunk]

I hope this is the correct forum.
I inherited a PC with Visual Studio 2005 already installed, with BIDS buried under Programs --> Microsoft SQL Server 2005 --> SQL Server Business Intelligence Design Studio.
I can't tell if SSBIDS was installed with Visual Studio 2005 or installed with SQL Server Management Studio(Also on the PC).
In any case, I have used it to create a SSIS (dtsx) package. I am now migrating to another PC, with VS 2008 Professional installed. There is no sign of BIDS in the new version of the new PC.
How do I get hold of Business Intelligence Design Studio, I thought it would come with Visua Studio 2008 Professional? Or do I have to install SQL Server Management Studio 2005 to get hold of it? Confused?


The risk with keeping an open mind is having your brains fall out.

BIDS comes on the SQL Server DVD. Stick the SQL 2008 DVD back in the machine and run through the installer. When you get to the list of services to install select BIDS and finish the installer.
