I am running SQL Server Management Studio 2008 on Windows 7. I am unable to open a SQL Server 2000 DTS package from SQL Server Management Studio 2008. I have tried going through all the steps that I have found online as far as installing the SQL Server 2005 Backwards Compatibility and the DTS Design Components, but none of it works. I have even gone through the steps to replace .dlls in the installation directory from some of the posts that I have found.
Is this actually even possible to open a SQL Server 2000 DTS package from within SQL Server 2008 Management Studio on Windows 7?
No, to the best of my knowledge, what you explicitly describe is not possible (my SSMS crashes when I try).
However, if you are looking to migrate the package from DTS to SSIS, you need to run the DTS Migration Wizard. I recommend doing this from BIDS:
Start BIDS 2008
Create an Integration Services Project
Right-click SSIS Packages and choose "Migrate DTS 2000 Package"
Follow Wizard instructions
You can access the wizard through SSMS2008, but ultimately I found it much easier to start in BIDS, and then import the finished product into SQL using SSMS2008.
Was looking for the same thing and found this:

Never got chance to try it unfortunately as I've been told just to use one of the older machines we have... Hopefully it will help someone though.

I created a package that will run in SSDT, but it will not run through the execute package utility when saved to the filesystem. Perhaps there is an easy fix, but I am unaware of one, and googling didn't seem to yield anything useful.
I am running SQL Server Enterprise 2017, as well as Visual Studio 2017 with the most recent version of SSDT. I have tried installing SQL Server 2018 to no avail.
The point is scheduling the package, one solution would be for package to run through DTExec.exe, alternatively if there is a way to automate running the package through SSDT that would also work.
The error:
To run a SSIS Package outside of SQL Server Data Tools you must install Standard Edition of Integration Services or higher.
The catch:
afaik I have SQL server enterprise installed as I can save SSIS packages to the file system through the SQL Server Import Export Wizard (before I received enterprise edition it said originally it required SQL server standard edition or higher to save the packages)
Make sure that you have selected the Integration Services check box while installing SQL Server features. It looks like you have installed SQL Server Data Tools for Visual Studio which allows you to create SSIS packages but you didn't install SSIS feature which is required to execute packages.
You can refer to the following official documentation for additional information:
Install Integration Services
Make sure you have select the relevant TargetServerVersion property in the project configuration. You can refer to the following link for more information:
How to change TargetServerVersion of my SSIS Project
I have installed SQL Server 2014 and Visual Studio Professional 2015. So, does that mean it already has SSMS pre-installed with it, or it needs to be done separately.
My need is: Report generation using SSMS, from data coming from query behind SQL Server.
So, what needs to be exactly done to configure SSMS into SQL Server with VS 2015.
Upon deep diving even more, got the answer.
Option One: Google for 'SQL Server Data Tools' installer, compatible with your VS. Run the Installer.
Option Two: Open Visual Studio 2015 - Tools > Extension and Updates. Find/Search for 'SQL Server Data Tools' update option. Run it.
I'm still not sure if there comes a complete package of Visual Studio along with Data Tools, but I don't think it does. As we still need to add certain packages into VS Installer as per need.
We are moving all of our SSIS packages from SQL Server 2008 R2 to SQL Server 2016. I suspect each SSIS package will need to be upgraded but I have been told otherwise.
Will all SSIS packages need to be upgraded to to work on the new SQL 2016 server? Should they be upgraded on the SQL 2008 R2 Server and then moved to the new Server? Or should we move the packages and then do the upgrades?
Also we have a large number of SSIS packages to upgrade. Will the SSIS Upgrade Wizard do these upgrades in bulk?
Here is a rough process that I am proposing we follow:
Use Data Migration Assistant to check for potential issues
Use SSIS Upgrade Wizard to update the packages
Manually resolve any issues
Test the packages
Are there any other things I should be concerned with?
I upgraded a set of SQL Server Integration Service packages recently by just importing them to a SQL Server Data Tools project.
The upgrade is done automatically and hands free by Visual Studio. Then you can attach them to 2016 SQL Server Integration Service .
I also recommend you check the following link from Microsoft that describes how to upgrade SSIS packages using the Package Upgrade Wizard :
Upgrade Integration Services Packages Using the SSIS Package Upgrade Wizard
The way we are upgrading is to create new projects/solutions in SSDT 2016 (Visual Studio), import the existing 2008 packages into the 2016 projects, and letting Visual Studio perform the upgrade while converting them to the Project Deployment model. Then we deploy them to the 2016 SSIS Server.
There are multiple ways to do it, and which way is "best" is a matter of opinion and may vary from case to case.
I agree that the best way to migrate is to create a new project in the VS 2016 solution, as the projects for VS 2008 and VS 2016 differ and you can not simply migrate them with any tool.
Here were my steps for migrating:
1) Open Command Prompt, run SSISUpgrade.exe from C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\130\DTS\Binn (Note path may vary depending on the version of SSDT you are using)
2) In the SSIS upgrade tool specify the path to VS 2008 solution and follow all the wizard steps up to finish.
3) Open the upgraded solution with VS 2016, remove the project from it(perhaps it didn't loaded correctly)
4) Create the new project of type Business Intelligence - Integration Services Project
5) Right click on the project -- add existing item, and then add dtsx package, config file for, all Powershell scripts and all other stuff than is used by this dtsx package
Keep mind, that VS 2016 will create a new folder for the project inside the solution folder, and place dtsx files, and all the stuff you've added in step 5.
And all of it should be kept in this separate folder, otherwise solution won't work.
I've downloaded SQL Server 2016 standard edition trial along with SSDT in order to test what one can do with a standard edition in SSIS, SSRS, and SSAS.
I also wanted to know whether standard version's SSISDB logging capabilities differs from the one in Enterprise. For this I wanted to create an SSISDB catalog under Integration Services Catalogs in SSMS.
When I try to do this, however, I get the error saying that
The catalog backup file 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\130\DTS\binn\SSISDBBackup.bak could not be accessed. Make sure the database file exists, and the SQL server service account is able to access it
From googling this issue it appears as this message shows up whenever someone doesn't have SSIS installed, but I have SSIS on the machine, I've even made a small Project and executed it from within SSIS without any issues just to verify.
I have set this up on localhost where I am the admin. Does anyone have any ideas why this won't work?

To check if SSIS installed, open Sql Server Configuration Manager, in the SQL Server Services, is something like 'SQL Server Integration Services 13.0' running?
Experienced this error message on MS SQL Server 2017.
Resolved by launching MS SQL Server 2017 install media, added Integration Services feature.
After successful installation, when back into SSMS, right-click on Integration Services Catalog for Create Catalog... option.
You will be asked for an encryption password to create the new SSISDB.
Hope this helps!
I faced with this error when I used lower version of SSMS than SSIS. Check if you use proper version of SQL Management Studio.
You need to go back to the SQL Server installation and check the integration services checkbox.
The issue is because SQL Integration services is not installed properly with the existing SQL Server you are using.
you can check if SQL Integration services are installed or not by,
Opening --> SQL Server Configuration Manager--> SQL Server Services --> Check if "SQL Server Integeration Services is there"
if its there and if you still get the same issue try re-installing.
Else install the SQL Integration services to your existing SQL Server.
The detailed step to installation is given in this link : https://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/6635/install-ssis/
hope this helps !!
I'm trying to do a SQL Server 2008 setup and I've been given a Cross Language Installation failure. More specifically:
Rule "cross language installation: failed.
the Setup language is different than the language of existing SQL Server features. To continue, use SQL Server Setup installation media of the same language as the installed SQL Server features.
I do not have SQL Server Express installed and I browsed through "Add or Remove Programs" and was unable to find anything that looked like it was a previous version of SQL.
Any tips?
I restarted the setup after facing the same problem, and I realized that man should not close the installation center till the setup process is completed. If you leave it open it will work.
Ensure that you have uninstalled all of your old SQL Server versions. Also you must restart the installer if you have not done that when you began installation.
All I had to do was exit the installer and start the process again. For some reason it worked the second time around.
I had the same problem today when installing SQL Server 2008 Express on a computer that has never had an instance of SQL Server installed.
I found that "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Backward compatibility" was installed. I removed this via Add/Remove Programs and was able to successfully install SQL Server 2008 Express afterwards.
Change the Current Windows Language interface for the needed language you want to install.
That will make it possible for the Installer to launch the Localized version.
If you've previously installed SQL on the machine (or apparently some RedGate tools) have you checked for any SQL detritus in the registry?
If not then the MS forums have details of some reg keys to look out for, and some of the links are worth following for advice on what to delete from the registry.
On my installation of Sql Server 2008 Express, this was caused by having Sql Server 2005 Express Tools installed while trying to install 2008. Uninstalling 2005 Tools fixed the problem. I was able to keep Sql Server 2005 Express, including Sql Server 2005 Backward compatability; only had to nuke tools.
