Mar 25, 2016 I am in a situation where I need to install Office 2016 Home and Business alongside Project 2016 Standard on the same machine. My Office 2016 is a retail version, and I believe the only way to install is via the CTR installer (Click-to-Run).
There are actually three types of resources in MS Project
- Work resource — human resource, or equipment rented by the hour
- Material resource — consumable materials used on the job
- Cost resource — misc. expenses used on the job

Building a Microsoft Project with resources is much more than just human resources. It’s more than just Jim and Bob assigned to tasks. There are other types of resources that all have costs impacting the project.
The video below shows all three resource types. Scroll down and watch.
Work resources
Work resources are usually human beings. They have a standard rate for each hour of work. But Work resources could also be machines that cost you a certain amount to use for each hour. A trackhoe that costs you $10,000 per hour is a work resource. You assign it to a task for a specified number of hours. When the task is finished, you own $10,000 times the number of hours. Ouch!

Material resources
Material resources are normally consumables. You use up these materials on the job. The video describes buckets of nails as an example. You use a certain number of buckets for each task. When the task is done, you have cost the project the number of buckets times the cost for each bucket.
Cost resources
Cost resources are miscellaneous expenses your project incurs. Add these to your project so you know the total cost, including all the items used.
It turns out that all these MS Project costs come down to Standard Time during synchronization. Not only do your tasks come down, but so do all the resources and their costs. Of course you can send actual work back up to MSP from your employee timesheet, which lets you compare estimates with actuals. But this video describes resource costs.
Have a look at the video below.
-->SQL Server Data Tools is a modern development tool for building SQL Server relational databases, Azure SQL databases, Analysis Services (AS) data models, Integration Services (IS) packages, and Reporting Services (RS) reports. With SSDT, you can design and deploy any SQL Server content type with the same ease as you would develop an application in Visual Studio.
Changes in SSDT for Visual Studio 2019
With Visual Studio 2019, the required functionality to enable Analysis Services, Integration Services, and Reporting Services projects has moved into the respective Visual Studio extensions. The core SSDT functionality to create Database Projects has remained integral to Visual Studio (you need to select the Data storage, and processing workload during install). There's no more standalone SSDT installation required.
If you already have a license to Visual Studio 2019:
- For SQL Database Projects, install the Data storage and Processing workload for Visual Studio
- For Analysis Services, Integration Services or Reporting Services projects, install the appropriate extension(s) from the marketplace
If you don’t already have a license to Visual Studio 2019:
- Install Visual Studio 2019 Community
- Install the Analysis Services, Integration Services, or Reporting Services extension(s) as appropriate
Changes in SSDT for Visual Studio 2017
Starting with Visual Studio 2017, the functionality of creating Database Projects has been integrated into the Visual Studio installation. There's no need to install the SSDT standalone installer for the core SSDT experience. To create Integration Services/Analysis Services/Reporting Services projects, you still need the SSDT standalone installer.
- For Database Projects, install the Data Storage and Processing workload for Visual Studio
- For Analysis Services, Integration Services or Reporting Services projects, download and install SQL Server Data Tools
Install SSDT with Visual Studio 2017
To install SSDT during Visual Studio installation, select the Data storage and processing workload, and then select SQL Server Data Tools. If Visual Studio is already installed, you can edit the list of workloads to include SSDT:
Install Analysis Services, Integration Services, and Reporting Services tools
To install AS, IS, and RS project support, run the SSDT standalone installer.
The installer lists available Visual Studio instances to add the SSDT tools to. If Visual Studio isn't installed, selecting Install a new SQL Server Data Tools instance installs SSDT with a minimal version of Visual Studio, but for the best experience, we recommend using SSDT with the latest version of Visual Studio.
SSDT for VS 2017 (standalone installer)
Important
- Before installing SSDT for Visual Studio 2017 (15.9.2), uninstall Analysis Services Projects and Reporting Services Projects extensions if they are already installed, and close all VS instances.
- Please use SSDT for Visual Studio 2017 (15.8.0) or the previous versions for designing SSIS packages that contain Teradata Source/Destination. SSDT for Visual Studio 2017 after 15.8.0 can’t design SSIS packages that contain Teradata Source/Destination by Attunity.
Version Information
Release number: 15.9.2Build Number: 14.0.16194.0Release date: July 17, 2019
For a complete list of changes, see the Release notes for SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT).
SSDT for Visual Studio 2017 has the same system requirements as Visual Studio.
Available Languages - SSDT for VS 2017
This release of SSDT for VS 2017 can be installed in the following languages:
Offline install
To install SSDT when you’re not connected to the internet, follow the steps in this section. For more information, see Create a network installation of Visual Studio 2017.
First, complete the following steps while online:
- Download the SSDT standalone installer.
- Download vs_sql.exe.
- While still online, execute one of the following commands to download all the files required for installing offline. Using the
--layout
option is the key, it downloads the actual files for the offline installation. Replace<filepath>
with the actual layouts path to save the files.- For a specific language, pass the locale:
vs_sql.exe --layout c:<filepath> --lang en-us
(a single language is ~1 GB). - For all languages, omit the
--lang
argument:vs_sql.exe --layout c:<filepath>
(all languages are ~3.9 GB).
- For a specific language, pass the locale:
- Execute
SSDT-Setup-ENU.exe /layout c:<filepath>
to extract the SSDT payload into the same<filepath>
location where the VS2017 files were downloaded. This action ensures that all files from both are combined into a single layouts folder.
After completing the previous steps, the following steps below can be done offline:
- Run
vs_setup.exe --NoWeb
to install the VS2017 Shell and SQL Server Data Project. - From the layouts folder run
SSDT-Setup-ENU.exe /install
and select SSIS/SSRS/SSAS.- For an unattended installation, run
SSDT-Setup-ENU.exe /INSTALLALL[:vsinstances] /passive
.
- For an unattended installation, run
For available options, run
SSDT-Setup-ENU.exe /help
Note
If using a full version of Visual Studio 2017, create an offline folder for SSDT only, and run
SSDT-Setup-ENU.exe
from this newly created folder (don’t add SSDT to another Visual Studio 2017 offline layout). If you add the SSDT layout to an existing Visual Studio offline layout, the necessary runtime (.exe) components are not created there.Considerations and limitations
- You can’t install the community version offline
- To upgrade SSDT, you need to follow the same path used to install SSDT. For example, if you added SSDT using VSIX, then upgrade via VSIX. If you installed SSDT via a separate install, then you need to upgrade using that method.
Supported SQL versions
