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 using a Visual Studio Setup project. How can I add SQL Server 2019 Express as a prerequisite?
It includes only SQL Server 2012 Express. But I also need to implement SQL Server 2019 Express.
I don't believe that SQL express is part of, and can be installed along side Visual Studio.
If you want to use SQL express (in place of local db), and I STRONG recommend that you do use + install SQL express?
Then you have to go get, and download and install SQL express. And while you doing that, you might as well go ahead and install SQL management studio. (and the express version these days is rather nice - even includes the sql profiler tools).
So, you can't choose, nor have Visual Studio install say Excel, Word, power-point, SQL server or some accounting package, or some PDF viewer?
If you need and want these other applications?
You have to go get them, and install them - such installs of such software is 100% outside the realm of Visual Studio and what it has for options to be installed.
I have Visual Studio 2015 installed on my Windows10 already and I now want to install SQL Server 2014. But I remember that you had to have SQL Server before Visual Studio.
As I already seem to have SQL Server and SQL Server Compact Edition under my program folders.
Will I run into trouble now if I attempt to install the proper SQL Server? IS there a way to uninstall them or would I need to do a complete install of Visual Studio to install SQL Server first?
Or the best case scenario, that the SQL Server installation won't create any issues, besides the windows firewall exception and .net 3.5 which i have already checked is installed.
Well, it didn't seem to matter, could install and run sql server even after having Visual Studio installed first :)
Yes, there are many "Questions that may already have [my] answer" on StackOverflow, however, they refer to older versions of Visual Studio, or SQL Express, or SQL Enterprise Manager.
I'd like to know the correct install sequence for SQL Server Developer Edition (2012) and Visual Studio 2013. Additionally, since Visual Studio 2013 has a Develop for SQL Server option, which I believe installs some SQL functionality into Visual Studio, do I choose that option or not? Choosing that option appears to install SQL Express, which I do not want.
SQL Server Developer Edition (2012)
Visual Studio 2013
Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools
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
I am trying to install the SQL Server 2008 R2 express X64 but it doesnot install the MANAGEMENT TOOLS because it finds the VS 2008 and it wants the SP1. I have not install any VS edition. How can I overcome this problem? I have windows 7 professional 64.
Thanks
Perhaps is it because Express comes in different editions. Not all them include the management tools.
Check the download page and choose the right version. The one you need is
SQL Server 2008 Express with Tools
If you are sure you have the right download, perhaps you have installed earlier management tools and sql server considers that a kind of light VS? If you go to your installed programmes, do you see there any kind of SQL Server management tools (earlier version?) or VS?
