Still not at the starting point

I installed the VS 2008 pro under Windows 7 pro and the Business Intelligence projects templates are missing, then I installed the same disc under Server 2003 and they are there.
Anyone could you please tell me where are the files/templates located, therefore I could copy from the Server 2003 folder to my Windows 7 location to make them show up.
Thank you.

******I have tried the "devenv /installvstemplates" already with Admin rights, also removed completely three times the VS 2008 and the corresponding Visual Studio 9.0 folder too

Just to report what I have done. Removed the SQL 2005 Dev and reinstalled the VS 2008, still do not see (Tools-->Options-->(Business Intelligence Designers)) templates. Instead on the corresponding right side window there is an error message "An error occurred loading this property page".
Any ideas, big guys!?!?!?!
Thanks.

The first time when setup the VS2008 the type of templates question will show up for the user's choice --> C#/VB.NET/C++ or other templates, and the "Business Intelligence Designers" are missing. Or you can use the Imports/Exports to import templates, here the "Business Intelligence Designers" is missing again. Or you can go to Tools/Options here again the Business Intelligence Designers". Or when Create project the option is not there.
Please note I have removed CLEARLY (software and folder) three times, logged as Admin too.
Thanks.
I would appreciate if there is any new ideas to put the templates back, rather to take the last resort as per Suthish (thank you very much here for your efforts) to remove SQL 2005 dev.

How do you know that they templates are in the Server 2003 installation? What are you looking at when you see them?

1. Make sure the files are not hidden..

2. Try reinstalling VS 2008.

3. refer msdn

4. try to search the setup file name in windows 7

Ok. I have read the attachment and still it does not answer my questions. I could install without issues (having all the SSIS/SSAS/SSRS templates) when doing under Server 2003, but they do not show up under the Windows 7 Pro WITH THE SAME DISC (VS2008pro).
Any other suggestions !?
Thank you again.
