SSDT For SQL 2016

  • Hello.  I am having a difficult time with SSIS versions.  I am trying to fix an dtsx package that is executed by a SQL Server 2016 box.  I can run the package in visual studio alright.  However when I put the package on the server and run it from there it errors on "the script task uses version 15.0 which is not supported on this release of integration services.  I am running with cmd and dtexec since the logging is more verbose then a sql job.  So I thought that was weird since it's pretty much the latest version of SQL except for 2017.  I don't have Visual Studio 2015 installed on my machine.  When I installed just the data tools it did not install a copy of Visual Studio with them so I could not open SSDT and that proved fruitless.  I installed SSDT for 2013 which did install Visual Studio 2013 and the tools.  I opened 2013 and that also gave me a compatible issue about upgrading to version 14.  It looks like the SQL Server has version 13 of integration services installed according to SQL Server Configuration Tools, so I was afraid that would break it too.  So, how on earth do I work on SQL Server 2016 packages?

    Have a read of this article.
    In summary, you need VS2015 for SQL Server 2016.

    The absence of consumable DDL, sample data and desired results is, however, evidence of the absence of my response
