Duplicate Commands within the Data Menu of BIDS 2008
I recently stumbled upon a problem where there were duplicate commands within the sub menu of Data in Business Intelligence Development Studio 2008. To give you a birds eye view below is what we were facing.
With a little research and some musical chairs with keywords I stumbled upon the following post: Visual Studio team System 2008 Database Edition FAQ which pinpointed the solution. You’ll need to scroll down a bit till you see “I have installed the GDR, but now I see duplicate commands on the menus in the IDE.”
Resolution Steps
1) Be sure to exit out of all the visual studio sessions
2) Open a command prompt
3) Within the command prompt navigate to %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\DBPro\
Execute the following:
DBProRepair.exe RemoveDBPro2008
You will not see a confirmation message after running the above statement. To verify launch BIDS and click on Data. It should now look like the following.
