We are building a new SQL server. We have installed SQL 2008 R2. Along with the install we installed BIDS. The box did NOT have the "real" Visual Studio 2008 suite installed. After SQL and BIDS were installed, we installed SQL 2008 R2 sp
and cumulative update. The question here is DO I or DON"T I install Visual Studio 2008 sp1 because of BIDS in that BIDS did install the Vs2008 shell. I am getting mixed messages from numerous people who are experienced.
