I found out when creating SSIS packages that I need to have this SSIS Service installed in order to schedule them from SQL Server Agent. So with that said I've been trying all over to figure out how to get this service installed without wiping my existing instance.
I've been all over online and no one seems to have the same issues that I'm having or their resolutions aren't helping me out. Here's what I do so far and the wall that I'm hitting:
I go to Start/All Programs/Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2/Configuration Tools/SQL Server Installation Center (64-bit)
When the console opens I click on Installation and then "New installation or add features to an existing installation"
I then get a pop up that says to "brows for SQL server 2008 R2 Installation media so I point it to my Desktop where the file "SQLManagementStudio_x64_ENU.exe" resides and I get an error that says that my desktop "is not a valid installation folder"
Please help me figure this out, I've been racking my brains for days! The only solutions I've found online for this error are to completely uninstall everything and re-install and that's just not an option.

I have looked at another link within stack overflow that "may" address my problem.
Add SSIS to existing SQL Server instance
It says that I have to get my hands on the "installation media folder" or download it from Microsoft's website. I can't however find anything on their website besides the "SQLManagementStudio_x64_ENU.exe" file that I was referring to later.
----- edit 2 -----
When I try to just use SQLManagementStudio_x64_ENU.exe I get to the point where I select my instance and get this 'instance id required but missing' error. Here's a screenshot
Don't go via Start/All Programs/Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2/Configuration Tools/SQL Server Installation Center (64-bit).
Go directly to your installation media "SQLManagementStudio_x64_ENU.exe" file, and run it. It will open same panel, that installation center does, but it will not ask for any installation media, and will take you directly to next step.
Hope you go through successfully.
P.S.: You can't update SQL Server 2008R2 installation with SQL 2008 setup files.

I am trying to create a default instance of SSMS to run through a few quick tutorials on my local machine. However, everything I am reading is telling me that this default instance should have been created during the wizard. Welp, I have now installed and uninstalled SSMS 2016 three times and am yet to be prompted by anything other than a simple request to install and a notification that the request is complete.
I have read online that I should use the SQL Server Management 2016 Application to create this instance, but every time I try to open that application I get this wonderful error "Cannot connect to WMI provider. You do not have permission or the server is unreachable".
I have tried running the command referenced in this article to fix the error:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/956013
But had no luck.
I've also tried to attempt to connect to what might be the default value for the instance:
-localhost
-myip
-(local)
etc..
But when I ran osql -L earlier, it showed no SQL databases on my machine and since my most recent install this command isn't even working.
You dont create instances with SSMS. SQL Server Management Studio is to query and manage existing instances.
You use the Installation media to create an instance.
Look for the Configuration manager to see what instances you have installed.
The default instance is always called MSSQLSERVER.
According to the article you linked to, you probably jacked the installation between the 32 and 64 bit versions of SQL Server.
I suggest to use the setup program and reinstall it.
When i tried to connect to sql server configuration manager in sql server 2008. It shows error MMC could not create the snap-in.
It was working perfectly till last night. What can be the reason, how can i solve it. But in background sql server is working perfect.
*Note: Before doing this, make sure that your user has Administrative righs to run MMC, unless it's not Administrator, below procedure won't work.
Win button + R, then type mmc and press enter.
Choose File->Add/Remove Snap-in.
Click Add to Console Root
and find the "SQL Server Configuration Manager"
You will be able to use it from there or replace existing console by saving it to bin folder of you SQL server's installation.
Note: This is the only option that really worked for me...
This guy here had the same problem: MMC could not create the snap-in. SQL Server configuration manager error
I said there that I had the same problem and found out that it was an issue with .net framework.
I downloaded this file: "dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe" from Microsoft website, and used the "repair" option. It worked for me. Hope it helps.
Try to run SQL Server Installation and Repair your SQL Server. It works for me.
Sql Managment Studio stop working, sending me this message:
Package ‘Microsoft SQL Management Studio Package’ failed to load
I follow the solution from this page
http://blog.dotsmart.net/2012/01/04/solution-for-package-microsoft-sql-management-studio-package-failed-to-load/
I delete it HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\100 key, just like the page says. Now, ssms.exe it's not starting!!! Not even an error message. The article says that, after restart the machine, the registry will be recreated, but I don't have the registry! What am I missing? Now I don't have error message nor Sql Managment Studio!
I don't know how to help you get back the sql server but for those that haven't deleted "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft Sql Server\100\Tools" yet, just rename it to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft Sql Server". You don't have to delete the whole thing. That should work but it doesn't fix it for some. If that is the case, check your .net permission setting s. You might have changed MY_COMPUTER_ZONE code group from full trust to everything. Change it back to full trust. Note that .net permission settings cannot be changed in version 4 and later versions.

I have done the following steps but could not succeeded..

Then I run the query and i again get the error FILESTREAM feature is disabled. Then I again perform the previous steps to saw whether Filestream is enabled or not, I saw that it is still disabled.

Please help me in solving this problem
Thanks
Install the latest service pack, this should fix the configuration manager issue, which will allow you to properly configure filestream.
According to the documentation, you need to enable it from SQL Server Configuration Manager.
EDIT: You didn't mention that you had already followed the documentation, nor that you can't see any services in the SSCM. According to various Google hits such as this MS forum discussion, limited permissions on the NETWORK SERVICE account could cause this problem.
what is meaning this error , when I want to install sql server 2005 ?
> TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Setup
None of the selected features can be installed or upgraded. Setup cannot proceed since no effective change is being made to the machine. To continue, click Back and then select features to install. To exit SQL Server Setup, click Cancel.
The message is pretty self-descriptive. The installation doesn't believe you're making any changes to the machine. Google/MSDN/Microsoft Help is a much better forum for this question than stackoverflow.
It thinks you are upgrading a systme already installed rather than a new instance. Check installed programs to see if there is a previous version; if you are doing a new instance make sure you specify it as you go through the wizard.
