SSIS error loading package in VS 2012 with TFS - sql-server

Question

I am receiving the following error when trying to execute an SSIS package using Visual Studio 2012:
Error 39 Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.DtsRuntimeException: The
package failed to load due to error 0xC0011008 "Error loading from
XML. No further detailed error information can be specified for this
problem because no Events object was passed where detailed error
information can be stored.". This occurs when CPackage::LoadFromXML
fails. ---> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: The package

The package is stored in TFS and I can open the package/solution without any errors. I just get the error when i try to excecute the package or any step in the package.
I created a new package on my machine (64 bit) and it worked fine. I'm just having trouble running the package when opening from TFS.
thanks

Answer 1

I resolved a very similar situation by changing the SQL Server sdk version that my solution was pointing.
I had SQL Server Express 2008 installed, and was using VS 2012 with BI Tools 2012. So, my solution was referencing the assembly Microsoft.SqlServer.ManagedDTS.dll version 10. For my case, the correct was the version 12.

Answer 2

I had this problem when trying to open an SSIS package which used a component which I did not have installed. In my case, it was the "Azure Feature Pack".

Answer 3

I had similar errors on a Win64, VS2013, SQL2012 system. The SSIS package did not load correctly.
Identify: I created a local copy of the whole package, and narrowed the problem with reduction to a single sub-package.
Reason: different date format.
Solution: I had to change the Windows date format to UK (source of the package), and since then everything is fine.

Answer 4

You have to copy the reference libraries to the Program Files directly as well.
I saw that in the (x86) path, the files were there, but not in the 64-bit folder of Program Files. I'm using Visual Studio 2010.
1 - C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\DTS\Connections
2 - C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\DTS\Connections
The referenced DLL was found in location 1, but not in 2.
I closed Visual Studio, copied the DLL over to path 2, and opened VS again. The package just worked like normal.

Answer 5

I resolved a very similar situation by changing the TargetServerVersion in the project general configuration properties. I use Visual Studio 2015. By default SQL Server vNext was selected, whereas I have SQL Server 2012 installed.
