  • This has happened to me several times, and it's a pain.

    But uninstalling and reinstalling 'Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services Projects' and SSDT has worked in fixing it.

    Next step would be a full reinstall of VS.

  • I wrote about one cause of this at https://andyleonard.blog/2021/07/ssis-script-error-cannot-load-script-for-execution/ and about another cause at https://andyleonard.blog/2015/11/vsta-script-editor-not-displaying-in-vs2015-ssis-2016/

    Hope this helps,

  • This happens quite often when either SSMS or VS is updated.  The solution is to repair 'Microsoft Visual Studio for Application' for your version.  Start with the version for 2017 and if that doesn't work - repair the 2019 version.

    Apparently, either SSMS or VS itself overwrites something needed by the above and the repair puts it back.

    1. Repair Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Applications. This is a common solution that has worked for many people. To do this, open Control Panel and go to Programs and Features. Find the entry for "Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Applications" and right-click on it. Select "Change" and then click on the "Repair" button.
    2. Install the latest version of the SQL Server Integration Services Projects extension for Visual Studio. You can download the latest version of the extension from the Microsoft website.
    3. Update your drivers for Visual Studio and SQL Server. Make sure that you have the latest drivers for Visual Studio and SQL Server installed. You can download the latest drivers from the respective websites.
    4. Create a new SSIS project and try to open the script editor in that project. If you can open the script editor in a new project, then the problem is with your existing project. Try to troubleshoot the problem with your existing project.
    5. Reset Visual Studio. To do this, open Visual Studio and go to File > New > Project. In the Project Types list, select "Visual Studio Solutions" and in the Templates list, select "Empty Solution". Click on the "Create" button. This will create a new empty solution. Close Visual Studio and then reopen it.

    If you have tried all of these solutions and the problem is still not fixed, then you can contact Microsoft support for help.
