Sql-server – No ‘Instance Features’ in installation setup of Sql Server 2012

After continuing to dig around I finally found an article in MSDN that covers installing advanced services without installing SQL Server. That got me pointed in the right direction:

The Crux of my mistake is that I thought of this as 'adding a feature to an existing instance of SQL Server 2008.' Therein lies my flaw. In the install process there is an option for 'Installation Type.' What I should have marked was 'perform a new installation of SQL Server 2008.' (even though I already have 2008 Express installed)

Then when I get to the section with the License Terms I had to select my key, ctrl+x to cut it out the license key (it was correct), then ctrl+p to paste it back, THEN click next. Otherwise I would get the Express install, not the regular install. Apparently an 'on key' or 'on click' event was not being properly captured.

At that point I could add SQL Server (non express) features to my laptop. The most important check box for SSIS is 'Integration Services'

It appears that there are a few things that are confusing in the wording and a few things buggy in the tool flow.

I haven't looked further into this but can confirm this is what happens - perhaps due to the service pack levels differing? (installed instance being SP1 and the tool installer not)

I just used control panel and changed the installed SQL 2008 to remove the database service instance.

Then I installed the MSSQL 2008 Express edition that includes the standard tools - and the option for management studio was there to check... not an elegant solution but it worked - so I didn't bother to figure out the original problem.
