[2008 R2] BIDS installation failure, edition is different

Question

Hello,
As I am just starting a new mission in SSIS, I have to install BIDS on a VM running sql server 2008 R2, enterprise edition.
The only iso I have at my disposal is a standard edition (valid, with a valid licence key). The issue is the installer recognizes the instance currently installed, detects which additional feature is or not installed but fails to install BIDS. The error
log is the following :

Since this morning, I fail to see why it couldn't see it to the end. Is the different edition the issue ? I asked the sysadmin for the enterprise edition iso but he couldn't find it...
Thank you for your answers, have a good day.

Hi nGibou,
After testing the issue in my environment, I can reproduce it. Just as you said, the installer can detect the existing instance of SQL Server 2008 R2, and we can choose the “Add features to an existing instance of SQL Server 2008 R2” option, then select
‘Business Intelligence Development Studio’ shared feature. But the installation of BIDS would be failed later.
Based on my research, the issue is caused by the difference edition between feature and instance. Because features within an instance must be the same edition. The following screenshot is for your reference:
So please use the original edition installation package to install the Business Intelligence Development Studio.
Thanks,
