The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

What are the steps to correctly install BIDS for Visual Studio 2008.

Asked by travishaberman in Visual Studio, MS SQL Server

Tags: , ,

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
