Business Intelligence Development Studio Doesn''t Open

To start Business Intelligence Development Studio, We need to go to the Start menu > Programs > Microsoft SQL Server 2005 > Business Intelligence Development Studio.

But when I go thru the procedure mentioned above, it gives me the following message. "Missing ShortCut, Windows is searching for devenv.exe. Please locate if u know the location".

What should I do with this. Please help Asap!!

Question did you install Reporting Services and Integration services? if no then make sure IIS is installed and rerun setup and choose repair make sure you have copied all the install files to your C drive before running the installer. If you find VS2005 installed after you install SQL Server then that is your BI Managment Studio.

Business Intelligence

The Business Intelligence isn't showing up in the menu with ( Visual Basic, Visual C##, etc). A teckie installed the pro version and said she installed everything, can some one point me in the right direction. We purchase the media and installed from that.

If you are referring to the Business Intelligence Projects not showing up in Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS), then please refer to the link below.
