Greetings Experts,
I must admit I am more frustrated with MS than ever - It seems like installing BIDS (Business Intelegence Development Studio) wouldn't be that hard. In any event, I have played with my install in all too many ways to count now, and I still can't see a BIDS project option in VS2008.
Here is what I need for 500 pts.
List me the exact installation steps to get BIDS up and running in VS2008. I have a fresh copy of windows vista. I currently have installed VS2008 and SQL Server 2005 Express Installed. I aparently also have ALL of the extra tools and components installed, (analysis services, integration services, workstation components) - or so the SQL Server MSI tells me that I do -- But I can't see any BI templates in VS.
Below is a copy/paste of the report generated from the Programs and Features page. Also, attached are 2 screensthots that may be useful.
I will reinstall all of the stuff if somone can tell me exactly the correct order and what options to select where. I will award no points for being directed to antother resource - i have done my research, and there is no easy description of how to get to the appropriate configuraiton.
Thank you experts
