BIDS disappeared

  • Hello,

    I have sql server 2005 developer edition installed on a 32bit vista home premium computer.

    I installed database engine, SSAS, SSIS. Obviously VS2005 was installed along with sql server.

    I used BIDS to develop SSAS, SSIS projects.

    All of a sudden, i don't see BIDS. When i go to programs --> Sql server 2005 --> i don't see BIDS there.

    Also, when i type devenv in the command promt, it says windows cannot find devenv.

    I did not find anything in the windows logs aswell.

    Any idea of how to troubleshoot this will be appreciated.

    Thanks

  • To add more to this... i am able to connect to Analysis services, Integration Services engine through SSMS.

    So, is the problem with VS2005 on my box?

    Thanks,

  • is vs2005 previously installed before you install sql server 2005

  • No. I have only the one that gets installed with sql server.

    Also i tried to install VS2005 express edition. The installation was not succeful. It says the setup.exe stopped working.

    Thanks
