    Looks like you need to install the SQL 2012 Management Tools (+ Report services bits) to get VS2010 BI projects. If you open "SQL Server Data Tools" from your start menu, it will open VS2010 and offer reporting options.

  3. Hi Adhi,
    I tried installing BIDS 2008 from the link you have mentioned above but I couldn't get the option to select BIDS in Features Selection during installation.
    I tried installing Microsoft® SQL Server® 2008 Express with Advanced Services from the below link:

    It helped.
