I installed SQL Server 2008 R2 Express edition on a box that already had SQL Server 2008 Developer Edition installed in it.
Now Integration Services will not show up in the connect drop-down menu in the object explorer.
Any ideas why this is happening? Thanks.
2 Possibilities spring to mind:
You are using Management Studio Express which doesn't support SSIS
You have done what I just did & have installed "Management Tools basic" & left out "Management tools - complete"
Either way the solution is to run a SQL 2008 install (not express), choose "add features" & check "management tools - complete"
There's another angle to this one. If you have SQL Server 2008 already installed, you need to select the upgrade option. If you don't, then in your installation of SQL Server 2008 R2 your "management tools - complete" will be grayed out when you get to the install items choice screen. Hover over it and it will tell you as much. Hope this helps someone.

I am trying to install SQL Server 2008 R2 Express with the SQL Server Management Studio.
However, the Management Tools feature does not seem to be selectable. The screen-shot below shows which Features are available for me to select:
I have made sure that the SQL Server 2008 R2 Management Objects was installed!
I have tried both answered methods at Can't install SQL Server 2008 R2 management tool (complete) and they both do not seem to work for me, I still do not see Management Tools. Upgrading the Edition under the Maintenance section and Uninstalling/Re-installing the SQL Server had no additional effects. The files I am trying to work with to get this to work are:
SQLEXPR_x64_ENU.exe - This is Service Pack 3
SQLManagementStudio_x64_ENU.exe - The file name fooled me, since there is no management studio feature selection!
The question is, why does Microsoft makes it so difficult?
I am using a Windows 7, 64-bit machine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You should separately download Microsoft® SQL Server® 2008 Management Studio Express from Microsoft at
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=7593
SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe contains everything and is the best choice for new installs.
I have inherited an SSRS solution that I can't seem to work with. I sat down with the previous owner briefly and he showed me where in TFS to find the solution. The also opened up a few of the RDL files and attempted to give me the gist of modifying a report. Every thing seemed straight forward to me during that session.
Now the original developer is gone and I now have access to the code in TFS. Whenever I try to open one of the RDL files, it opens it up as an XML document instead of opening it in the designer.
I have Visual Studio 2008 and SQL Server 2008 Management studio installed. Any thoughts on what I may be missing like service packs or hot fixes?
Re-run the SQL Server 2008 installer on your machine. You need to install the Business Intelligence Developer Studio component, or whatever it was called in '08.
If you don't have access to an installer, find the SQL Server Express with Advanced Services download (whatever year you need, just make sure it's the "Advanced Services" - here's 2008: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=1842 ), and run that; it will also provide an option for BIDS.
I have started working on SSRS and I have installed SQL Server 2008 Enterprise edition and already installed Visual Studio 2010. When i am opening VS2010 in that case i didn't seen Business intelligence Projects -> Report Server Project but whenever i am opening SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio under Microsoft SQL Server 2008 it shows in the new project wizard. My current project is in 4.0 and i have worked on that project using VS2010. How can Report Server Project show in VS2010?
SQL Server 2008 only uses a VS2008 shell. As Pratik says, you do need to use the SQL Server Setup and install the Business Intelligence Development Studio feature to install the VS2008 shell. You will not be able to use VS2010 to create your report server project until you upgrade to SQL Server 2012.
Gaurav you need to install the business intelligence development studio also to see the Report server project templates.

I am trying to upgrade my current Express edition to Express with Advanced Services for supporting full-text search.
The current system setup is:
OS version: Windows server 2008 R2 web server 64 bit
SQL Server 2008 R2 Express, SP1, v10.50.2500.0
I have downloaded the SQL Server with Advanced Services. I am unable to upgrade the edition. The installation step goes without any issues and even getting Edition upgrade completed page. But once I click the close this page, an error will pop up.
SQL Server Setup has encountered the following error: Invoke or
BeginInvoke cannot be called on a control until the window handle has
been created.
Can some please assist me here to the right direction?
I could see that the version of SQL Server Express with Advanced Services is 10.50.1600.1. Is this the cause? So should I downgrade the sp1 to normal Express r2 edition before upgrading?
Downloaded link for the Express with advanced services http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=25174
I got it working finally!!
I was getting the below error previously. It is a bug and is related to UI. So i have upgraded using the command line that too in QUIET mode to prevent any UI intervention.
"SQL Server Setup has encountered the following error:
Invoke or BeginInvoke cannot be called on a control until the window handle has been created."
Following are the steps i used:-
Downloaded the latest sp1 for SQL Server 2008 r2 with Advanced Services (SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe) from http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=26729
Extracted the SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe to D:\SQL2008
Open command prompt as "Administrator"
Executed the following commands
D:\sql2008\setup.exe /ACTION=editionupgrade /INSTANCENAME=MyInstance /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS /FEATURES=SQL,RS /INDICATEPROGRESS /Q
*MyInstance is your sql server instance name
*/INDICATEPROGRESS will show the setup progress to command prompt(For a confirmation :) )
You can follow this doc for more setup parameters
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144259(v=sql.105).aspx
Verified the upgrade has been successful.
Unfortunately FULL-TEXT Search feature was not enabled.
So Run the setup.exe as normall(double click) and added "FULL-TEXT Search" feature to the existing instance.
Everything works fine now. Thank you all.
I can verify that this bug and the same resolution also apply to SQL Server 2008 R2 Express SP2 v10.50.4000.0
I've done some reading on the installation but it's not clear to me whether I will be UPGRADED to the SQL Server Developers edition or whether the install will create another instance. I want to get rid of SQL Server Express. Will the install give me that option?
If the install does not provide that option
What files must be deleted?
Are there any configuration items I need to gather before the install?
Anything else to be aware of?
You definitely can install a separate instance.
Don't even try to delete or replace sql server files manually - use standard windows instrumentation instead - uninstall it as regular application.
As far as I know - there were no any options to upgrade from express edt. to developer, if you need so - just keep your db in safe place, uninstall express, install developer, attach the db. And be aware of developer license restrictions!
