From what I understand, it should automatically have it installed. What I have installed right now is SQL Server 2008 R2 and Visual Studio 2008 Developer.
Thanks,

If you installed the SQL Server 2008 R2 client tools, you will see the Business Intelligence project templates in Visual Studio 2008.
So, make sure that you installed SQL Server 2008 R2 client tools and not just the Express edition.
Check the following link to understand which SQL Server editions support Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS).
Features Supported by the Editions of SQL Server 2008 R2 - Development Tools
Follow this link to find the steps to install SQL Server client tools.
SQL Server 2008 Client Tools Installation
Update:
If you have the SQL Server 2008 R2 Client tools installed, you should see a folder in the Windows Start --> All Programs option. Within that you should see SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio. If you don't, then you don't have the client tools installed.
You can also open Visual Studio 2008 and navigate to Help --> About Microsoft Visual Studio and look for the following components to be installed.
SQL Server Analysis Services
SQL Server Reporting Services
SQL Server Integration Services
you need to install SSIS, SSAS and SSRS (which come with SQL Server 2008 installation, you just have to pick the option).
Once you install any them you will have access to BIDS (Business Intelligence Development Studio), which is visual studio with the BI templates

I know it has installed SQL Server 2017 Developer edition, but I need to find if I have all needed features for SSAS installed.
Basically I need to have this:
The 2 options you are looking for are not anymore in the sql server installer.
These are optional packages you have to download. This mainly done because management studio and sql data tools have a seperate release schedule then SQL server.
data tools
SQl server Management studio
Open "SQL Server Installation Center" from the Windows Start menu. Click on "Tools" and then on "Installed SQL Server features discovery report"
I am currently running SQL Server 2008 Management Studio (version 10.0.1600.22) and I want to update due to a bug in this version.
All the documentation I have found so far has been for updating to SQL Server 2008 R2 Management Studio and SQL Server 2008 Management Studio Express which I believe are different. Is that right?
I have also found links for updating SQL Server which I once again believe isn't what I'm looking for as I only want to update the client side.
Is there a way (or link) where I can update SQL Server 2008 Management Studio without having to reinstall it?
I believe the management tools for SQL Server 2008 R2 is backwards compatible with SQL Server 2008.
If you want to keep your database instance SQL Server 2008, just run the setup on the installation DVD and choose Maintenance -> Repair. At the screen to select the instance, there is an option to select "Repair shared features only". I don't have SQL Server 2008 DVD, only 2008 R2 DVD, but I believe the 2008 version works the same way.
Or if your computer doesn't have SQL Server database instance, you can do a fresh installation and choose only management tools. Example screen shots (for 2008 R2): http://it-n-careerz.blogspot.com/2013/04/how-to-install-sql-server-management.html
Good luck!
I have recently successfully completed the installation of SQL Server 2008 Express.
After installation when I tried accessing SQL Server Express I found there was no Management Studio installed.
Is there an issue with express, that Management Studio is not installed during installation?
If yes how do we access SQL Server in this case?
I also tried installing Management Studio separately but however when I tried to login through the installed Management Studio the server was not found.
Am I missing something?
Does SQL Server Express not come with Management Studio?
Please Assist.
Thanks
sql server 2008 express does not have management studio. There is a Management Studio Express, but, IIRC, it must be downloaded separately.
The SQL Server 2008 Management Studio Express can be downloaded from here. You'll need it to use a management studio with Express edition.
I Installed SQL Server 2008 Express on a client PC (I install SQL Server 2008 Express from Visual Studio Setup Version for C# program)
But I don't see SQL Server Management Studio icon in all programs windows.
Now if I want control tables and database in SQL Servers, how can I do this?
Just installing Sql Express on it's own will not give you any client tools.
If you have a full Sql Server (Dev or otherwise) already installed on the same client, the existing tools will allow you to manage the Express database instance too. Otherwise, you wil need to install the version of Sql Express that comes with tools. This can be found here

I'm VS2005 installed with SQL Server.
How can I use it to connect SQL Server 2005 and create new database? Am I missing SQL Server 2005's Management Studio to be able to make database queries?
In Visual Studio, you can do most of the database development tasks that you'd ever want to do without having to use Management Studio.
Here's an article describing how to connect to your database in Server Explorer: How to use the Server Explorer in Visual Studio .NET and Visual Studio 2005
Here's what to do if you don't see Server Explorer in Visual Studio.
And here's a video to get you started: How to Use the Server Explorer in MS Visual Studio 2005
Use Server Explorer window in Visual Studio. It's capable of connecting to sql server instances and do most of the db management tasks.
