Does SQL Server 2008 Express support Integration Services? When I try to create an Integration Services project, it says that I have to install Integration Services, but I cannot find the option in the setup for the installation. How can I install it?
Is there any service pack for this?
The SQL Server 2008 Express with Advanced Services version does have SSIS in the box. If you've not installed that exact version, then you'll need to get the right version to have SSIS.
In order to develop SSIS packages, you need to have features enabled in Visual Studio. For Visual Studio 2010 and higher, those features are packaged in the SQL Server Data Tools that can be downloaded and installed .

I have a development server with SQL server 2017 Developer edition and integration service,
There is a SSIS project (.dtproj) I believe it was built using 2008 BIDS, So I want to do some changes/modification on that,
Do I need to install SQL server 2008 R2 Integration Service? Or Can I do this by only using BIDS 2008? and is there any other software's that I need to install.
if you are using vs2017 then you need to install SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT)

Planning to install SQL Server Developer edition. Should I remove SQL Server Express that came with Visual Studio before installing it? Can they work together? Is there any reason not to remove SQL Server Express?
Visual Studio installs SQL Express LocalDB, which provides on-demand SQL Instances in the user's desktop session. The SQL Server Data Tools requires this, and it's handy also for other development and test scenarios.
Also there's no reason to remove it.
I am trying to create Integration services project in VS 2015. i Installed the SQL Server Data Tools for VS 2015. i also installed SQL Server 2016.
I still dont see the templates.
can anyone please help.
The current release of SQL Server Data tools for VS 2015 doesn't include the BI templates that you need for integration services etc, what you need to install is Microsoft's pre-release SSDT RC0 version, which now finally includes the SQL server database projects and the BI templates, finally it will all be in one place:
Download SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT)
Make sure you download the release from the link "Download the Latest SSDT Preview for Visual Studio 2015"
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.
