A few weeks ago I was cleaning up an old server which one of my colleagues still uses for SSIS packages with Visual Studio 2008. I uninstalled VSTA 2008, because I didn't think we'd need it, but I was wrong.
Now we can't open Script Tasks anymore and I can't seem to find the setup to reinstall VSTA 2008.
It doesn't seem to be included in Visual Studio 2008 either. There's only a setup for VSTOR, but I don't need that.
So the only hope I have is that somebody somewhere knows where I can get a setup of VSTA from over 10 years ago.
The VSTA (Visual Studio Tools for application) is installed with the Business Intelligence development studio 2008 which is a part of the SQL Server 2008 installation. It is not related to Visual Studio installation.
You can try to repair the SQL Server installation or to remove and reinstall the SSIS and Business Intelligence Development Studio features:

After searching for a standalone installation of VSTA SDK 2.0 enu 9.0 on the Microsoft website it looks like the download link is removed and only 2012+ versions can be found.
which is the latest visual studio version for Windows XP that supports SQL Server Integration Services so I could run ssis projects?
Thanks
Visual Studio 2010 is the latest version that supports XP, but you will have to use have a computer running vista or later to install SQL 2012 Server though.
If you want to run everything on that XP machine then you must use visual studio 2008.
Strongly recommend upgrading your computer to Windows 7 or later for security and simplicity reasons.
I'm developing a project (desktop app) with Visual Studio 2010 (.NET Framework 4 + WPF)and SQL Server 2008 Express on Windows XP.
I upgraded my OS to windows 8.1 and now I am using Visual Studio 2013; it asks me to upgrade the database if I do is it still work on Windows XP if not how to edit it with Visual Studio 2013 without upgrading?
Visual Studio 2010's Database Projects have been replaced by SSDT Projects in Visual Studio 2013, and you are being asked by Visual Studio to upgrade your Database project to SSDT, not to upgrade the actual Database.
I have recently updated a Solution from VS2010 to VS2013 and have been through the same experience. I am also developing against a SQL Server 2008 (R2) database.
Initially I resisted upgrading my VS project, but changed my mind as it became a hassle. There were no adverse side-effects for me, other than I recall having to drop the new SSDT project from the Solution and add it back.
Your SQL Server database will not be affected by you changing your VS project.
I'm studying Sql Server Data Tools (SSDT). Do I need a Visual Studio 2010 / 2012? Can I use a express edition?
SSDT replaces Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS) from SQL Server 2008, regarding Integration Services, Analysis Services and Reporting Services. When you install SQL Server 2012, you get an option to install SSDT. In this case, SSDT will be installed in an empty shell of Visual Studio 2010, with nothing but the BI project types (Integration Services project, Analysis Services project, etc.)
If you are talking about the non-BI related features of SSDT (Database Project, Database unit testing, etc.) you need a pre-installed version of Visual Studio 2010 or 2012, Express edition is not supported.
Visual Studio Express Edition is not supported by SSDT.

SSDT with VS 2015 can be installed without having Visual Studio, and SSDT will install Visual Studio with the limited features needed for SSDT, HOWEVER you must be sure to install .NET Framework 4.5 before trying to install SSDT. If .NET Framework 4.5 is not present, the installer will fail immediately, and most likely will tell you that you need Visual Studio. I ran into this while trying to install on Windows Server 2008 R2, and everything worked well once .NET Framework 4.5 was installed.
SSDT is included in most Visual Studio 2013 Express editions, and for earlier versions of Visual Studio you can download a free standalone install from the web. All of the available install options are listed on the download page. Take a look there and hopefully one of the options will suit you.
Does SQL Server 2012 include Visual Studio?
P.S. I don't mean to be an idiot, but I can't find the answer to this.
No, it does not include Visual Studio. If you do a full install with all the client tools you get some bare minimum shell stuff but that is just scaffolding to support things like Management Studio. Visual Studio proper is a separate product and must be licensed separately.
No, it doesn't come with Visual Studio.
SQL Server is a database server. The install media comes with some tooling, like SQL Server Management Studio.
Visual Studio is an IDE, an Integrated Development Environement. It can connect to SQL Server and used when developing database driven applications.
But the two are orthogonal.
It will come with Business Intelligence Design Stuido, commonly known as BIDS, which is built around the Visual Studio framework.
