I just downloaded and installed Visual Studio 2015 Community but SQL Server Express did not install with it - why?
Before I installed VS 2015 Update 1 and everything was perfect but now SQL Server Express did not get installed.
What is wrong ?
You have to install SQL server individually. visual studio package never have SQL server with them.
You can download SQL SERVER 2012 Express: https://www.microsoft.com/en-pk/download/details.aspx?id=29062
Download SQL Server Data Tools for Visual Studio 2015 to build SQL Server relational databases, Azure SQL databases, Integration Services packages, Analysis Services data models, and Reporting Services reports.

I've downloaded and installed the Visual Studio 2010 Express products (Visual C#, Visual Basic, Visual C++, and Visual Web Developer) on a machine running Windows 7 Professional and a few SQL Server instances of SQL Server 2012 Express. All of the Visual Studio 2010 products are running well.
However, isn't there an additional shell that needs to be installed? Shouldn't it come with the product set? The reason I ask is that I'm working through a book titled Microsoft SQL Server 2012 that uses elements of Visual Studio to illustrate some SQL Server principles; specifically, the use of SQL Server Data Tools. SQL Server Data Tools was not an available feature during the install of SQL Server 2012 Express.
The exercise is related to using the SQL Server Development Settings of SQL Server Data Tools to create a SQL Server Database Project.
I found the following link to download SQL Server Data Tools 2010 - https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/jj650014.
When I install SQL Server 2012 Express I do not see the SQL Server Management Studio when I look for it via Start -> All Programs -> SQL Server 2012 Express.
Well, which version of SQL Server 2012 Express did you install??
there's the bare-bones engine - just the engine, nothing else
(Express (Containing only the database engine))
there's the SQL Server 2012 Express With Tools version which includes and installs Management Studio
there's the SQL Server 2012 Express Advanced Services version (which I believe doesn't include Management Studio)
So which one did you install? If you got the bare-bones one : yes, that doesn't include Management Studio. Either download the With Tools edition, or install Management Studio separately.
I wanted to update my SSRS reports to use 2012, so i installed SQL Server 2012 and checked off data tools and reporting services. It installed successfully and under my Microsoft SQL Server 2012 programs directory i see "SQL Server Data Tools", however when i open SQL Server Data Tools, it opens a Visual Studio 2010 project. And when i start a
And when I start a new Reporting Service project, my rdl files have 2008 schema in the xml. I am very confused. So how can i use VS2012 and make 2012 reports?
There is no SSDT(Sql server data tools) available for Visual Studio 2012. We have to use Visual studio 2010(Only the Shell with reporting services template is sufficient) to work with Reporting Service Projects and Sql Server 2012.
I have just realized that now SSDT for VS 2012 is available. It will install Business Intelligence templates in VS 2012.
VS2012 BI templates
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.

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.
