The question is can I use Visual Studio 2019 with the most current SSIS to create SSIS packages for SQL Server 2008? Or do I need to download an earlier version of Visual Studio?
I do not have access yet to execute on the server I am waiting for this and just doing some research to get tools ready in the mean time. So I have not tried anything yet.
You have to install SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) for Visual Studio 2019.
This is the link
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/ssdt/download-sql-server-data-tools-ssdt?redirectedfrom=MSDN&view=sql-server-ver15
Says that you can't.
Supported SQL versions
Integration Services packages SQL Server 2012 - SQL Server 2019
Unfortunately, SSIS 2008 is too old. Additionally, SQL Server 2008, and its SSIS, are out of support. I strongly suggest upgrading your SSIS to a later and supported version.
VS2019 supports SSIS development for the following SSIS versions:
2012
2014
2016
2017
2019
-- UPDATE --
can sql server2008 use ssis later than 2008? this is what i was trying
to establish
No, SQL Server version and SSIS version are one and the same.
-- UPDATE #2 --
BIDS (Business Intelligence Development Studio) can be found after installing the full version of SQL server 2008.

I have already existing system on Sql Server 2008, with SSIS. I don't have BIDS 2008 but Data Tools 2015. Is is possible to edit existing packages from 2008 in Data Tools 2015 and then run/deploy on 2008 server again? I know that I can't run newer packages on older server but what with packages created on 2008 but edited on 2015?
SSDT 2015 can create packages/projects for SSIS 2012, 2014 and 2016, based on your choice. You need to select target SSIS version.
Unfortunately, it cannot create packages for SSIS 2008. You need BIDS 2008 for that.
Packages for SSIS 2012 and higher cannot be run on SSIS server 2008.
Our IT department bought SQL Server 2012 Enterprise and VS 2013 Pro many years ago.
I realize that SQL Server 2012 Agent will not execute SSIS packages created in VS2013. So what are my options, if any?
Is there any way I can create SSIS packages in VS2013 that will run in SQL Server 2012?
Thanks.
The latest version of SSDT is free, and supports SSIS versions 2012 and later.

I am developing a SSIS 2008 R2 package in Visual Studio 2015 using SQL Server Data Tools and i am getting the error listed below. Is these two truly not compatible or is there a setting I can change (or workaround)?
You cannot build a ssis package for sql server 2008 r2 with VS 2015.
According to this Microsoft Docs article you can build a sql server 2008 r2 ssis package with only visual studio 2008 (business intelligence developpment studio).
There are a lot of links saying that newer versions of visual studio cannot deploy SSIS 2008 packages correctly:

I am trying to connect to a SQL server 2008 SSIS package from my computer. I am using visual studio 2012. When I try to add an existing packaged, I get the error in the link below.
What do I need to install for this to be compatible?
To edit 2008 packages you need BIDS (Business Intelligence Development Studio).
BIDS runs within Visual Studio 2008. Later updates to Visual Studio do not support older versions of SSIS.
BIDS was replaced by SSDT-BI (SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence). The current version of SSDT-BI is the first to offer backwards compatibility with SSIS (although it only supports SSIS 2012, 2014 and 2016, not 2008 or 2008 R2).
Microsoft has published this handy document. It details which development environment you should use for each version of SQL Server.
Which version of Visual Studio and SSDT-BI I need to use to create and deploy a SSIS project for SQL server 2008 R2?
You have to install Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 to deploy package for SQL Server 2008 or SQL Server R2 by default. (newer versions will not work correctly)
