SQL Server Data Tools for Visual Studio 2012

SQL Server Data Tools in Visual Studio

2012
Software Requirements
If you already have the Professional, Ultimate, or Premium Edition of Visual Studio 2012 and didn't
opt out of installing SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) during setup, then your machine has an existing
installation of SSDT. Installing this update will replace these SSDT bits with a newer version.
If you do not have Visual Studio 2012 Professional Edition or above, SSDT will install the Visual
Studio 2012 Integrated Shell and install SSDT on top of it. The Integrated Shell will only contain
SSDT, and does not include VS programming languages and the features that support their
respective project systems. The database functionality of Express SKUs of Visual Studio 2012 will
also be updated when SSDT is installed.

Supported Operating Systems

Windows 10 (x86 and x64)

Windows 8, 8.1 (x86 and x64)
Windows 7 SP1 (x86 and x64)
Windows Server 2012 (x64), R2 (x64)
Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 (x64)

For locations without internet access, create an Administrative Install Point for SQL Server Data
Tools by following this procedure:

1. Download the appropriate version of SSDTSetup.exe for your chosen language from the table
below (use the “save” option in your browser, rather than “run”):
Portuguese (Brazil) http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=617314&clcid=0x416
Chinese (PRC) http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=617314&clcid=0x804
German http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=617314&clcid=0x407
English (United States) http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=617314&clcid=0x409
Spanish http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=617314&clcid=0x40a
French http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=617314&clcid=0x40c
Italian http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=617314&clcid=0x410
Japanese http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=617314&clcid=0x411
Korean http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=617314&clcid=0x412
Russian http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=617314&clcid=0x419
Chinese (Taiwan) http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=617314&clcid=0x404
2. Once downloaded, run the following command using an administrator command prompt (cmd.exe
run as administrator):

SSDTSetup.exe /layout <destination>

Where <destination> is the location you wish to create the administrative install point (e.g on a USB
drive, a LAN drive or other accessible location). NOTE: You will need approximately 1.8GB of free
space at for the full install point because it includes all possible components that might be
required.
3. To use the install point once created, simply run SSDTSetup.exe from the <destination> location
with no arguments. This will use the install point rather than attempting to download new copies of
the relevant chained components.

Download SSDT as an ISO image (optional)

An ISO image of SSDT can be used as an alternative way to install SSDT or to set up an Administrative
Installation point. The ISO is a self-contained file that contains all of the components needed by SSDT
and it can be downloaded using a restartable download manager, useful for situations with limited or
less reliable network bandwidth. Once downloaded, the ISO can be mounted as a drive or burned to a
DVD.
