There are times during development when you need to send a package to someone to help troubleshoot a problem or validate some results, etc. Recently, a client got this message when trying to load a package that I had emailed to them. We had been sharing packages back and forth with no problem until this one occurred.
As you can see the “Additional Information” doesn’t really give any additional information at all. Apparently this is a very generic message that will occur under a variety of situations including having versioning differences from one machine to another, x64 versus 32-bit operating system issues, and when using some 3rd party components. In this case I was using the Microsoft Oracle Source Component by Attunity and the client didn’t have it installed. Once the client installed the same version of Attunity that I had on my machine, SSIS allowed them to load the package.
Happy New Year 2011
