Stand-alone SQL server data tool for visual studio 2013 - sql-server

Anywhere to download that tool without the visual studio 2013? I accidentally remove this tool and I really don't want to reinstall my visual studio 2013.
I searched vs->tools->extensions and updates; still can not find separate package.
Any good idea?

Visual Studio 2019 say dtproj SSIS project is unsupported

I'm trying to open my dtproj SSIS project in Visual Studio 2019 and it says its unsupported and incompatible. What am I missing? I installed VS with SSDT so it should work. I compared the about-info of both and found the VS that didn't work lacked the following. Is SSIS 15 a separate install? If so, where do I get it?
Snapshot Debugging Extension 1.0
Snapshot Debugging Visual Studio Extension Detailed Info
SQL Server Integration Services 15.0.2000.180
Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services Designer
Version 15.0.2000.180
Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Applications 2019 00435-60000-00000-AA131
Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Applications 2019
#larnu has part of the answer, that is, install the SSIS extension. After doing that it still won't work (or didn't in my case). The project still said 'unsupported' and I right clicked it in solution explorer and clicked 'reload project' and after that the project loaded correctly.

WDK Templates won't show up in Visual Studio 2017

I started to play with Driver development again and I am using Visual studio Enterprise 2017.
I have something that actually gives me a headache as to now start asking why I install WDK and it does not show up in visual studio 2017. This, as far as I am concerned, has not been resolved.
Please anyone with an idea why this is impossible? I mean why WDK templates won't show in Visual studio 2017?

SSDT vs SSDT-BI

What are the differences between SSDT and SSDT- Business Intelligence?
I've installed SQL Server 2017 and then proceeded to download Business Intelligence Development Studio but found out that it was replaced by SSDT/SSDT-BI (don't know the difference if there's any).
Do I need just SSDT or SSDT-BI? I can only find SSDT-BI for Visual Studio 2012 and 2013, not for VS 2017 while SSDT for VS 2017 is available.
Will this create any problems since I'm working with SQL Server 2017?
I'm a complete beginner at all this and this is only for a uni project. Please keep answers as simple as possible. Thank you very much.
There is only SSDT nowadays, which includes support for SQL Server Database, SSRS, SSRS, and SSIS projects. The download links are here. The current SSDT version (15.5.2 as of this writing) allows you to target SQL Azure Database, SQL Server 2017, as well as older versions so you don't need multiple versions of SSDT installed.
SSDT will install a minimal Visual Studio shell if VS is not already installed. If you already have VS installed, those project types will be added to the existing installation.
EDIT:
With Visual Studio 2019, SSDT for SQL Server database projects remains intregrated into the VS 2019 installer. Select the Data Storage and processing workload during install and choose SQL Server Data Tools. However, SAS, SSIS, and SSRS SSDT projects are now moved to separate Visual Studio extensions. These extensions can be manged post install from within Visual Studio under Extensions-->Manage Exentsions.
Yeah, this got a lot of people confused. According to this link (VS2012 & VS2013 timeframe):
SSDT is for building databases ONLY i.e. only base functionality.
SSDT-BI is for building SSIS/SSAS/SSRS solutions
But then it looks like from VS2015 onward they merged the two together into just SSDT, so after VS2013 there is no separate SSDT-BI install. I think.

what are the correct tools to create a cube from SQL server 2012?

I am new to this field. I am trying to create a cube from SQL Server 2012. I generally know how to create a cube using Visual Studio 2010. But I can not find Visual Studio 2010 to download (or to buy). The IT person can provider Visual Studio 2015, but I do not know which version do I need (Visual Studio Community, Visual Studio Professional, or Visual Studio Enterprise?).
I downloaded the free version of SQL Server 2012 from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=50003
But we did not install all of the features (see image 1 below)
When I create a new project in SQL management studio, it looks like image 2.
Can anyone point me to the right direction?
Thank you very much!
Download this version of SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) to get the templates to create a cube, https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36843.
It installs a Visual Studio shell if you don't have Visual Studio installed already. It's enough to use the cube project templates. SSDT is all you need to start develop cubes, tabular models, Integration Services packages, and Reporting Services solutions.
For SQL Server 2012, you should use Visual Studio 2010 to create cubes.
You need to have Data Tools installed so that you can create an Analysis Services Project.

visual studio extension to execute sql

I have several .sql files in my visual studio 2010 project.
I am looking for an extension or add on where I can right click on the sql file and execute its contents against a sql server database.
Anyone know if such an extension exists?
Starting with SQL Server Denali (at least in the community preview version I installed to play with), SQL Management Studio is integrated into the Visual Studio 2010 IDE. So you get all the syntax highlighting, Object Explorer, etc., all from within VS2010.
That said, I didn't specifically try adding a SQL script to an existing project (and I uninstalled the shared features last week because there were... issues), but with such a tight integration, I assume doing more or less what you're asking for is the intention.
