I am new to work with Microsoft technologies. I have installed VS2010 in standard mode on my PC. But When I try to install Microsoft SQL management studio 2008, it throws a compatibility issue. My questions are,
1) Should I install later version of SQL management studio?
2) Should I move to VS 2008 or earlier?
3) Do I have to install another software to undergo the compatibility issue?
I am using windows8 OS.
Usually that is a message that comes from the OS. You could try to install and then update to a newer Service Pack or just download the latest SP for SQL Server Management Studio.
The issue has nothing to do with Visual Studio.
Here you could find the latest Service Pack for Sql Server Management Studio 2008

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:
How do I enable Integration Services (SSIS) in SQL Server 2008?
Also check the following links they contains helpful information:

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.
Short question, I hope the answer is will be also short.
I'm a starting BI developer and we make a lot of use of Microsoft SQL Server and SQL Server Data tools (SSDT, previously BIDS). SSDT is a Visual Studio shell with components catered towards BI-centric solutions. I've always installed SSDT from a SQL Server installation.
I'm now doing a Visual Studio 2012 installation and notice an option to install SSDT. A quick search on Google only yielded a difference that SQL Server 2012 installs Visual Studio 2010 shell instead of 2012. Is there any other difference in installing SSDT from SQL Server or from Visual Studio?
Any and all help is welcome.
I'm a starting BI-developer and we make allot of use of Microsoft SQL
Server and SQL Server Data tools (SSDT, previously BIDS).
Ah. No. SSDT and BIDS are not the same. SSDT are a plugin into visual studio for SQL Server development, adding mostly the SQL Server Database Project which allows versioning and development of sql code in visual studio (as in: Stored procedures, table schemata etc.). BIDS is the visual studio version for - Analytics service, Integration Services and Reporting Services.
And SQL Server BIDS is most of the time built on an older version - for the 2012 Shell IIRC you need the 2014 server..... and the concurrent modern version of VS is 2013.
BIDS is NOT SSDT.
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.
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.
