I have Visual Studio 2015 installed on my Windows10 already and I now want to install SQL Server 2014. But I remember that you had to have SQL Server before Visual Studio.
As I already seem to have SQL Server and SQL Server Compact Edition under my program folders.
Will I run into trouble now if I attempt to install the proper SQL Server? IS there a way to uninstall them or would I need to do a complete install of Visual Studio to install SQL Server first?
Or the best case scenario, that the SQL Server installation won't create any issues, besides the windows firewall exception and .net 3.5 which i have already checked is installed.
Well, it didn't seem to matter, could install and run sql server even after having Visual Studio installed first :)

I am a new SQL Server programmer and this is my first question on stackoverflow.
Anticipating your help...
I have these installed in my PC: Windows 7 ultimate SP1 + SQL Server 2012 Enterprise + Visual Studio 2010 (SSDT which came with my SQL Server 2012). What I want to do is create a database from SSDT.
In server explorer, I right clicked the data connection -> create new SQL Server database. After I input my server name and choose "Use Windows authentication" (which is the case with my SQL Server 2012), I got this warning:
This server version is not supported. Only servers up to Microsoft SQL Server 2008 are supported.
What shall I do? Shall I upgrade to Visual studio 2013 or I have other options?
Much appreciated if anyone can help.
Visual Studio isn't really the issue here. And you didn't say why you installed VS 2010 (are you actually developing apps with it?). If you're not actually developing in VS, I would remove it and just install the latest SSDT. This will install a VS shell, containing enough functionality to fully run SSDT. Then you should be able to create SQL Server 2012 databases, which I assume is what you want to do.
I would like to know if it's possible to install both SQL Server 2014 Express and Visual Studio 2013 Web on a Windows Server 2008 R2 SP2 machine, and if so, what are the requirements, like what version of the .NET framework should I install given the possibility.
I hope someone can clarify this, thanks.
Regarding SQL Server Express 2014:
Yes you can install it on Server 2008 R2 SP2. The requirements can be found on MSDN
Regarding Visual Studio 2013 Web:
Yes this is also possible. The requirements can be seen at Visual Studio Express
Installing this is possible, just like the other post says. I have these version installed on a machine however and they dont seem to "play nice". VS 13 express web has some issues recognizing the database in this set up. Might/should be a temporary bug and might already be fixed in the latest SQL server 2014, just thought I would share.
I have installed VS2012 and SqlServer2012 in my machine.
I have installed sql server data tools 2012 in other to enable BI project in my VS environment.
Now, I'm having a project which the project requirement is using BIDS 2008.
The question is :
Can I install only the BIDS 2008 side by side with my BIDS 2012 along in my machine?
How can I fix this situation?
You can install both side-by-side, but you will have to ensure that your SQL 2008 install is slipstreamed with SP3 to ensure it will install on Windows 8.

I installed VS 2008 and then installed SQL server 2005 and choose desktop tools but Management Studio does not show up. Any ideas?
Are you talking about the SQL Management Studio? I just downloaded it and installed it rather than wasting my time with the installer on the VS disc. It's available somewhere on MS's site.
You need to install SQL then visual studio; until V2008 SP1 that was the case for SQL 2008 as well. You might be able to add the tools using add remove programs; if that doesnt work remove VS2008; install management tools; install VS2008 again.
I am trying to install SQL server express 2008 on my machine. I get an error message that says that older version of VS 2008 in installed on the computer. Upgrade to VS2008 SP1 before installing Sql server 2008.
I tried to install sp1 but I get an error message that a compatible version of vs2008 is not detected on the system. the upgrade is not compatible with express editions.
I am having trouble installing sql server 2008 express installed on my machine and I am having problems. Please help me.
I had the same problem that ironsavior describes. I had VS 2008 SP1 and no other VS installed (i.e. no Express edition of anything.)
Here's how I solved it, basically a registry incentive.
I went to the the registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\DevDiv\VS\Servicing\9.0\IDE\1033 and changed the following values (they used to be 0, 0, and "RTM" respectively)
SP = dword:00000001
SPIndex = dword:00000001
SPName = "SP1"
You don't even need to quit the installer to do this. Just rerun the checks after the registry tweak and it should pass. At least worked for me.
You need to have the full version of Visual Studio 2008 installed in order to upgrade to Service Pack 1. You should have a look on the MS site for an SP1 specific to the Express editions of Visual Studio.
In fact I'm not certain but try redownloading Visual Studio express and it should have SP1 already integrated. Here's a link.
Best of luck!
It isn't compulsory to install the full version of Visual Studio 2008 to upgrade to Service Pack 1. You can install any of the express editions with sp1, ideally Visual C++ and C#. If you already have them installed on your PC, re-install and remove any old versions of SQL Server Express(2000 or 2005 in Add/Remove Programs). Finally, install SQL Server 2008 Express; this should solve the problem.
Best of luck!
The SQL Express SP1 updater doesnt work on SQL Express, believe it or not. If you patch SQL Express using the "full version of sql 2008 sp1", that will work. I found this to be the case in June of 2009.
