Business Intelligence Studio disappeared

Hi I had the Business Intelligence Studio for SQL Server 2005 installed and
then I went and installed VS Team System. My Business Intelligence Studio
seems to have disappeared and when I fire up Visual Studio I get errors that
it can't load various packages e.g. Report Designer, which I think are
related to Business Intelligence Studio. I have tried reinstalling SQL
server tools but it thinks everything is installed. Does anyone have any
ideas, Chris.It's actually the same program. When you open and create a new project, you
will see that BI is still there along with all the other VS options in VB,
C#, etc

Business Intelligence option disappeared from Visual Studio

I am in the process of evaluating Reporting Services for my company. I
succesfully installed Reporting Services and began developing a simple
report. After closing Visual Studio to attend to another matter, I later
re-opened Visual Studio and was unable to edit my existing report project.
The error I received was "The selected file is not a valid Visual Studio
Solution file". Further, when I tried to create a new project, Business
Intelligence is no longer listed in the project types dialog. I have tried
uninstalling and reinstalling both Visual Studio and Reporting Services and I
still have the same problem. Can anyone suggest a solution? Thank you.Similar problem for me. I installed RS client side and also have no
visibility to BI in VS .NET 2003. A couple of differences though:
1) I -never- had visibility
2) I can open the sample solution file (with the AdventureWorks reports),
and can even deploy it the server. But trying to add new BI items (or create
a BI project to begin with) are impossible.
Can anyone help us?

Server\80\Tools\Report Designer\Business Intelligence Projects exists? It
should contain 3 files. Next, check for the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.1\NewProjectTemplates\T
emplateDirs\{4a0c6509-bf90-43da-abee-0aba3a8527f1}\1. It should have 3
values:
(Default) = '#200'
SortPriorty = d '1'

Any other thoughts?
Thank you for your assistance.

the upgrade did not remove the start menu option for the previous version. I
was starting "Microsoft Visual Studio .NET" and not "Microsoft Visual Studio
.NET 2003". When I open the right one, everything is there.

Projects" in the New Project dialog. However, since you say you can open
existing projects, you can create a new one by coping the template file.
%ProgramFiles%\\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Report
Designer\ReportProjects\ReportProject.rptproj and opening that.
