Business Intelligence Develop Studio menu: missing

  • I have just finished installing SSRS 2005 SP2.

    I tried to open the Business Intelligence Develop Studio, but from stat -> Program -> SQL 2005 I do not see the menu.

    I checked Add/remove program for SQL 2005 and It looks like that is installed.

    How can I do to show it?

  • Try navigating to the folder that contains the business intelligence development studio, through windows explorer (right click on start button), The default executable file is in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE and is called devenv.exe. If you can't find it, try doing a search for it in c:\Program Files

    Once you find it, right click on it and "send a shortcut to the desktop". you can launch it from there.

    Or if you really want it under start-->programs-->SQL, you can:

    Click Start--->Programs, and right click the SQL menu item and then choose explore. It will bring up the other shortcuts under that menu, you can simply copy and paste the shortcut you created from your desktop into that folder.

  • Thank,

    I tried to look for the devenv.exe file but I have not found it.

    So I assume that that is not istalled, but do not understand why when I try to install it SQL says that It is already installed and version is different (the SQL is update to SP2, while the CD instalaltion is "native", I mean no service pack).

    So do I have to unistall the client tools and then re-install it?

  • Did you have a two disk installation of sql server 2005? And you finished installation for both disks?

  • During the installation, the second disk was not requested.

    The installation completed successfully as shown by SQL Server installation.

    Any help will be very appreciated

    Thank
