Which to install first Sql Server Management Studio and then the latest SSDT or the latest SSDT then tools

  • I am wondering if I can avoid the bloat of the 2012 Visual Studio IDE and go straight to the 2012. I am downloading the 2012 integrated shell now to see.

    My task is to create a BI Developer box with the following prereqs:

    Office 2013 64Bit

    Excel needs the following addins with Powerview, PowerMap and PowerQuery

    Word, Outlook and PowerPoint

    SQL 2012 Tools

    SSMS

    SSDT

    I went to the 2012 SSDT page and it listed these prereqs but it did not say if it installed them if needed. I assume i need to isntall them first

    Prerequisites:

    Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5

    Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 Shell (Isolated) Redistributable Package

    Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 Shell (Integrated) Redistributable Package

    Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Applications 2012

    Microsoft Report Viewer 2012 Runtime

    Any thoughts?

  • Hello Philip,

    So, for the SQL Server part (SSMS, SSDT) you should first install .NET 4.5 (and probably .NET 3.1 if it is not there). Once that is done, you can basically run a SQL Server 2012 setup media (Developer edition would fit best) and the components you need to choose are Management Components - Complete (this is SSMS) and SQL Server Data Tools.

    Regards,
