Hi,
I have read a dozen threads on how to resolve this and still no luck.
I have VS 2005 professional installed on my development PC. I also have SQL Management Studio 2005 installed as well.
I would like to install BIDS 2005 on my laptop.
I installed it using the Standard Edition CD For SQL Server 2005 but after install it does not show up anywhere.
It did'nt create a short cut and the VS environment or the Open project dialogue window is unchanged.
Some of the wizards are indicating it is being detected as already installed but I don't see it. Lots of people are siting: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe, that if this is on your computer then you should be able to run BIDS, but I have it and it runs a VS 2005 with normal VB, C#, Crystal Reports, etc projects available.
Can anyone give advice or direct me to a thread\blog\article with a definitive guide to getting it up and running.
This would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Chris

So you installed SQL Server 2005 Standard on your PC? Do you see that in your list of Services running on your PC? When you did the install did you select the option to install the workstation components?
Might want to take a look at this thread over here - http://forums.asp.net/t/1062316.aspx. Specifically this section towards the bottom:
You will be able to see BI options after installing BIDS.
I managed to install the BIDS. I went to control panel--> add or remove programs ---> microsoft sql server 2005.
Next, click on the change button.
You will get a microsoft sql server 2005 maintenance dialog box.
Under SQL server 2005 common components:
choose workstation components and click NEXT.
A installation wizard will pop up:
(1) click NEXT,
(2) click NEXT again,
(3) Click change installed components,
(4) Then i click on the icon on the left of CLIENT COMPONENTS and choose ENTIRE FEATURES WILL BE INSTALLED ON LOCAL HARD DRIVE,
(5) click NEXT
After the setup is completed, BIDS can be launched from the Start-->Programs-->Microsoft SQL server 2005-->SQL Server BIDS.
