I have installed VS2012 and SqlServer2012 in my machine.
I have installed sql server data tools 2012 in other to enable BI project in my VS environment.
Now, I'm having a project which the project requirement is using BIDS 2008.
The question is :
Can I install only the BIDS 2008 side by side with my BIDS 2012 along in my machine?
How can I fix this situation?
You can install both side-by-side, but you will have to ensure that your SQL 2008 install is slipstreamed with SP3 to ensure it will install on Windows 8.

I am trying to install SQL Server database and SQL Server Management Studio on my Windows 7 OS
After the installation, I don't see SQL Server Management Studio on my machine. Do I need to install SQL Server Management Studio separately?
SQL server installation picture
As of SQL Server 2016, the "SQL Server Management Studio" (SSMS) is a separate download. You can install SSMS 2016 and the new SSMS (current version, 17.4 I believe) side-by-side with older SSMS versions. But they are a separate download and must be installed separately. They are not "included" in the installer as an option like previous versions.
Here is a link: Official Microsoft SSMS DownloadLink
Which version of Visual Studio and SSDT-BI I need to use to create and deploy a SSIS project for SQL server 2008 R2?
You have to install Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 to deploy package for SQL Server 2008 or SQL Server R2 by default. (newer versions will not work correctly)
This Link contains very helpful informations:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/integration-services/install-windows/installing-integration-services-versions-side-by-side
There are a lot of links saying that newer versions of visual studio cannot deploy SSIS 2008 packages correctly:

But in theory, You can create SSIS 2008 package using Visual Studio 2012 or 2013. if you decide to try this you can refer to this link it may help
I am using 64bit Windows 8 rtm.
Where can I get Sql server 2008 mgmt. studio for it?I tried installing sql server 2008 express sp1 and SQL Server 2008 R2 Express SP1, but it wont install.(ref: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqlexpress/archive/2012/03/02/sql-server-express-and-windows-8.aspx)
Can you provide me a link from where I can download a working setup and give step by step installation instructions?
Well for a start the OS requires the appropriate version of MS SQL to be installed. You may have difficulty in installing just the management studio because express is primarily designed to run on a stand alone machine. There is some configueration work to do to get ports open and protocols enabled. I suggest you install SQL 2008 R2 express with tools: http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=26729
You want the WT (with tools versions)
however you may want to install sql 2012 express as this will connect to all earlier versions of MS SQL
I need to work on SSRS and for that I would need BIDS. I have installed SQL Server 2008 R2 Express Edition with Advanced features, also I have VS2008 installed.
How can I get BIDS installed on my machine?
You need to install SQL Server 2008 Express With Tools in order to get the BIDS extensions into Visual Studio 2008.
I installed Visual Studio 2008 Professional in my machine and It had installed SQL Server Express 2005 database in machine, and I use it very fine! I installed SQL Managment Studio and works great.
So, in this week I Installed Visual Studio 2010 Pro in machine and the setup installed the SQL Server express 2008 and it overwrite the instance of my SQL Server Express 2005.
All right, Now, I'd like to know how can I have two instances of the SQL Server Express in my Machine, Express 2005 and Express 2008. I can not access the 2005 , only 2008 :( and my projects uses 2005.. Somebody Help me!
thanks
Bye
Uninstall 2008
Install 2005 as a named instance (not default). Install all 2005 service packs
Install 2008 as the default instance. Install all 2008 service packs
Note that you can make 2005 the default if you prefer. Unfortunately, you must uninstall 2008 to get side-by-side to work.
you can installed a named instance
you access it with ComputerName\Instancename
so on my laptop you can see I have 2 instances, the sql2008r2 is the named instance
