BIDS error when opening SSIS package

  • Hi,

    When I try to open SSIS solution (created in BIDS on server having SSIS installed) on my local machine (do not have SSIS installed locally), I am getting below error:

    "Microsoft Visual Studio is unable to load this document.

    To design Integration Services packages in Business Intelligence Development Studio, Integration Services has to be installed by one of these editions of SQL Server 2008 R2: Standard, Enterprise, Developer, or Evaluation. To install Integration Services, run SQL Server Setup and select Integration Services."

    As SSIS is not shipped with SQL Server Express, do I need to have a license version of SQL Server or is there any fix for it?

    Thanks,

    Puja

    You'll need to uninstall anything to do with BIDS that was added to your machine by the SQL Express installation, and then you'll need to install BIDS from the SQL Server Installation Media, i.e. the same DVD or ISO used to install SQL Server on the server. This should give you the build of BIDS and the SSIS Project Types you need to develop SSIS packages locally. Do not skip the step about uninstalling SQL Express BIDS items.

  • Thanks OPC.three! I will give it a try and will post back whether this worked or not.

    Thanks,
