Can I install SSIS designer without having an instance of SQL Server installed on my local machine?

All I want is SSIS designer, but the best option I see is "Add features to an existing instance of SQL Server 2008". Is it possible to just insta开发者_如何学Cll the designer if I don't have an instance installed?

I think the "Add features to an existing instance of SQL Server 2008" option is the right path to install what you need. A few steps into the installation, you'll get a Feature Selection screen. You can select the tools you need. And, you don't have to install the server components.
