I got the same error when opening Old (VS2015) project on Visual Studio 2017

These actions solved my problem:

  • Install the latest version of SSDT
  • Open Visual Studio 2017: Go to: Tools > Extensions And Updates > Search: Microsoft Integration Services Projects > Click: Enable
  • In SSIS Project On Solution: Right Click > Reload Project

I got the same error when opening old projects in Visual Studio 2019.

These actions solved my problem:

Open Visual Studio 2019 and go to Tools > Extensions > Download to download these three tools:

  1. SQL Server Integration Services Project
  2. Microsoft reporting service project
  3. Microsoft analysis service project

Close VS and update package, then restart VS by double-click an old .sln file.
