I made a fresh install of SQL Server 2012 Express and Management Tools - Basic onto a new computer and none of the tools in the Integration Services folder will run. It gives the following message:
ERROR: The Execute Package Utility requires Management Tools - Basic or Business Intelligence Studio to be installed by the SQL Server 2012 Standard, Enterprise, Business Intelligence, or Evaluation Edition.
Its the Execute Package Utility that I'm after, but the Deployment Wizard and Project Conversion Wizard also give the error.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling but that doesn't seem to make a difference. This is on Windows 7 Pro 64 bit computer.
It seems obvious now, but the problem was that I was installing a SQL Server Express version. Even though it installed the needed components it would not run them. I downloaded the Eval version and it worked.
In my defense, the Microsoft SQL Server 2012 site does list SSDT as included with Express with Advanced Services:

I'm using Windows 10 and have just installed Visual Studio 2017 community edition, as u can see, sql server express 2016 localdb is installed:
However, "SQLServerManager13.msc"(or any trace of configuration manager) is nowhere to be found on my machine.
I'm suspecting it's not installed. But SQL server configuration manager is not available to download as a stand-alone application. Please advise as to what should I do?
Thanks
This installed the LocalDB feature of Express which does not install config mgr, management studio etc and is managed at the command line.
It's meant to be a very easy/quick way to have a lightweight sql server and is not meant to be used except locally and has a special connection string, hence configuration manager is not necessary.
If you want more features you can install the full Express edition or SQL Developer edition which is good for dev/test (non-production) usage.
If you want to have an easier way to interface with the LocalDb you can download Management Studio on it's own and it works with LocalDb as well.
I have installed a Evaluation 180 days version of SQL Server 2012 from the official website of Microsoft, on a Windows Server 2012 R2 (with gui). At the end of the installation in the Installation center, everything passed and succedeed but when I quit the program, I don't have any way to execute SQL Server from a graphical interface. I can see MS instances created, services running but how can I get a GUI to work with SQL Server?
With the newer version of SQL Servers, the SQL Server Management Studio (the GUI) is a separate install and you will need to install it separately to the database engine installation (which is what you have done). You can download SSMS from here https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29062. The page contains a lot of different download components, make sure you check the appropriate install and click download.
ENU\x64\SQLManagementStudio_x64_ENU.exe if you want the 64bit installation of SQL Management Studio
ENU\x86\SQLManagementStudio_x86_ENU.exe for the 32bit version.
you Need to Install SSMS
SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) is a tool to manage and administer SQL Server and SQL Database.
SSMS is offered free of charge by Microsoft.
I have installed sql server 2012 standard edition and SSDT (10.3.21208.0) is installed.
But when I try to create an integration services project in VS 2010 professional edition I got the following message:
Microsoft Visual Studio is unable to load this document:
To design Integration Services packages in SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT), SSDT has to be installed by one of these editions of SQL Server 2012: Standard, Enterprise, Developer, or Evaluation. To install SSDT, run SQL Server Setup and select SQL Server Data Tools."
Am I missing something?
Did you also have a SQL Server 2008 R2 installation before? It seems in some of the cases, the side-by-side installation tends to do some missteps. The suggest solution in the below article is to first uninstall the earlier Express/2008, then reinstall.
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/99386641-daf9-4370-bf1e-a52affd8c1ef/vs2008-unable-to-load-integration-services-package-document-after-creation
Ideally, I want to make SSDT/SSIS packages on my desktop PC that I can test and deploy to a production server environment.
On my PC I have:
Windows 7
Visual Studio 2008
Visual Studio 2010 (shell)
SQL Server Express 2012 (local dev copy of prod)
[supposedly] BIDS (Business Intelligence Development Studio) and SSDT (SQL SErver Data Tools) etc.
On my production server I have:
Windows Server 2008
SQL Server 2012
Visual Studio 2010 (shell)
I cannot load/run SSIS (SQL Server Integration Services) onto my machine because SQL Server express doesn't allow for it, as suggested by these articles:
http://support.microsoft.com/Default.aspx?id=963070
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc645993.aspx#SSIS
And I am getting this error when trying to look at a "package.dtsx" file in VS:
Microsoft Visual Studio is unable to load this document: To design
Integration Services packages in SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT). SSDT
has to be installed by one of these editions of SQL Server 2012:
Standard. Enterprise. Developer, or Evaluation. To install SSDT, run
SQL Server Setup and select SQL Server Data Tools.
When I run the SQL2012Express installer, it says SSDT is installed already.
Question #1: But why can't I just point a local VS2010/SSDT/SQL2012Express at my production SQL2012 environment? (Microsoft is getting their money legitimately!)
Question #2: I can get it to work on the production server, but isn't it bad form to develop on a production server? (and it complicates source control etc.)
You must have One of those versions installed. The SQL server express edition with advanced tools only includes reporting. Not ssis. Sql serverv dev edition is actually pretty cheap.
To be able to create SSIS packages you'd want the following:
1) For SQLServer 2008 SSIS packages - BIDS, either integrated into VS2010 or as a stand-alone. If you also want SQL server, then I'd use the dev edition of SQLServer that is an optional install with VS2010.
2) For SQLServer 2012 SSIS packages - download and install SSDT, either integrated into VS2012 as as a stand-alone. If you also want SQL server, then I'd use localDB (here).
Also, SSDT is two things - an improved replacement for 'Data Dude' AND the new BIDS - here's a blog with explanation.
"Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 does not support Business Intelligence Development Studio Integration Services, Report Services and Analysis Services projects for SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server 2008 R2. To work around this issue, you can install Visual Studio 2008 alongside Visual Studio 2010 on the same machine and then open the Business Intelligence Development Studio projects in Visual Studio 2008."

Guess this means: NO BIDS projects are possible under VS 2010.
I'm trying to install SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition on my Windows 7 Ultimate laptop.
When the installation runs, I am getting the following error :-
A component that you have specified in the ADD_LOCAL property is already installed. To upgrade the existing component, refer to the template.ini and set the UPGRADE property to the name of the component.
I had installed an Express version from the Web Platform installer, but I'm sure I removed that. Also installed were compact editions from a mobile development workshop I did last year. I removed those also.
Currently my Uninstall or change a program list in Control Panel has the following SQL Server related entries :-
Microsoft SQL Server 2005
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Backward Compatibility
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Books Online (English)
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Mobile [ENU] Developer Tools
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Upgrade Advisor (English)
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Setup Support Files
Microsoft SQL Server Native Client
Microsoft SQL Server Setup Support Files (English)
Microsoft SQL Server VSS Writer
Where do I go from here to get this product installed ?
In the end I followed this article.

After rebooting and running the installation again, and choosing just the client components (the problem part of the install) it is now installing smoothly.
I'm going to rerun the installation in a few moments and install the SQL Engine, Reporting Services, Analysis Services, and the other options such as the sample databases.
Job done; it seems.
