How to add SQL Server plugins to Visual Studio 2008 ?

Question

Hi Everybody,

I have a SQL Server 2008 database which is located on a distant server (I have full access to this server however). On my computer I have Visual Studio 2008 installed, and I need to load a solution which contains projects that have been created using plugins from SQL Server. Those plugins are : - SQL Server Analysis Services - SQL Server Integration Services - SQL Server Reporting Services

My question is: Is there a way to only install those plugins on my computer without installing the full Sql Server?

Thanks in advance.

If you have the installation media for SQL Server, during the installation process it lets you pick and choose which options to install. For example yesterday I installed SQL Server Management Studio...and that was it, off a standard SQL Server install disc.
