Hi

These explanations(http://blog.haunschmid.name/downgrading-an-etl-project-from-ssis-2014-to-ssis-2012/#comment-3631 and http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedbackdetail/view/944882/ssdt-bi-2014-backward-compatibility-for-ssis-2012) seems to be grate but does not say where do you find these files?
