Adding Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013 - sql-server

I have a current instance of SQL Server 2014 on my machine and just installed Visual Studio 2013. I would like to install BIDS as well. Unfortunately I keep getting an error and I do not really understand why. Would anyone be able to help?
I am assuming I would want to use the same installation, but I am not really sure what could be going wrong. Any help or information would be much appreciated. Thanks!

"Cannot find one or more components." when trying to start SSMS

Getting the vague "Cannot find one or more components." message when trying to start SSMS. SSMS used to work before installing the latest VS.
The version of SSMS I'm using is the newest 18.1, I have VS 2019, and have NO OTHER Visual Studio.
There's NO Visual Studio Isolated Shell 2019 (or 2017 for that matter) and installing 2015 DOES NOT solve the issue!!
I'm slightly miffed right now at this pathetic problem. Whoever designed this mess should be fired. Why not give EXACTLY the reason this problem exists in a concise easy to understand error.
I've uninstalled/reinstalled every C++ redistributable package and the 2015 powershell about a billion times (I've also removed all the SQL Management Studio registry keys and uninstalled/reinstalled it too) and this error will NOT go away.
Anyone else have this issue? Any thoughts on solving this?

Microsoft SQL Server 2016 isnt default

I have currently a project at school where I need to work with a Microsoft SQL Server 2016 (v13) file, but my Visual Studio 2015/2017 Enterprise takes version 12 as default and it wont let me change it. I've tried installing the express edition on it, but that didn't help. I do see that it is installed, but when I installed it I have not changed the key, maby that is the problem. I did found out that in appdata the 12 is present there but the 13 not. I guess that I need to instanciate it but don't know how. Can anyone pls help me?

Missing SQL Tools in VS 2013

I'm beginner in programming, and trying to make a project with Entity Framework. I'm using MS VS 2013 Express and SQL Server 2012 Express, and a tutorial from Microsoft.
When I try to "Generate Database from Model" I expect to see a hightlighted code and special tools to work with it:
But I have no any of them in my VS 2013.
What am doing wrong, and what should I do next?
I just found a solution for my problem on my own. I deleted and reinstalled VS 2013, and now it contains SQL Server features. Maybe the problem was in a proper order of installation of VS and SQL Server. So, firstly we install SQL Server and then - Visual Studio.
Also, before it I tried to use SQL Server 2014 with Visual Studio 2013 and it raised more errors.
I hope somebody will find it useful.

BIDS keeps crashing

I am working on SQL SERVER 2008 R2 and BIDS Visual Studio 2008 Version 9.0.30729.446 , The problem is it keeps crashing, It just restarts itself.
Did some googling and found this Hotfix Visual Studio 2008 SP1 crashes when you open a BIDS project. I have download and applied the hotfix but the issue persists.
It seems like it is a well known issue as Microsoft decided to issue a hotfix for it. But the hotfix didnt solve the issue for me.
Has someone else also experienced it and how did you fix it? any suggestions or pointer in the right direction is much appreciated. Thank you.

Cannot install SQL Server 2008 Management Studio - Need Visual Studio C++ 2008 SP1

Having a really strange issue on a laptop (Windows 7 Home Premium, soon to be updated to Pro)
When i try to install Web Management Studio for SQL Server Express 2008. Every time i try to load it i receive the following:
You must install Visual Studio C++ 2008 SP1
Now, i don't have Visual Studio 2008 installed on this machine, which would make the above make sense with regards to this message and its applied fixes that you can find on Google. I have tried to install the distributables to try and overcome this problem but nothing has worked.
I did have 2010 express installed (now uninstalled), and now have 2012 but it is really becoming annoying. Has anyone had the same issue, where VS2008 is not installed but you still get this and how the hell i can fix it. The registry fixes don't work as i don't have the VS2008 entries to change.
You should clean up your registry to make sure you dont have any residual entry of previous installations.
