title: Using SSIS BIDS with Visual Studio 2012 / 2013
body: <p>I want to use SSIS /BIDS project in Visual Studio 2012. </p>
  
  <p>I have both Visual Studio 2010 and Visual Studio 2012 installed along with Microsoft SQL 
  Server 2012. </p>
  
  <p>VS 2010 was installed first followed by MS SQL 2012 which got me BIDS integrated with VS 2010. </p>
  
  <p>However I cannot seem to find any help on integrating BIDS with VS 2012.</p>
  
  <p>I came across few question on SO related to this topic but all of them had integration with 2010 and not 2012. </p>
  
  <p>I know that with MS SQL 2012 I get a SQL Server Data Tool. Does this mean that Visual Studio 2012 and BIDS cannot be integrated ?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Solution 2012:</strong></p>
  
  <p>I had to update the solution here since one of the answers I received partially solved the issue. The <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/15258988/314763">Answer</a> provided by did solve the issue @user2141936 but I kept on getting an BlockMixedArchitectureInstall error while updating an existing instance.</p>
  
  <p>It worked without  with creating a new instance!!</p>
  
  <p><strong>Side Note</strong> :
  Installing the update broken my publishing database project onto 2012 server. You need to download and install a DACFramework patch for it.</p>
