Hi i am trying to edit DTS Package in sql server 2008 management studio, i followed this site DTS Packages in SQL Server 2005 or 2008 64bit
i was able to see it, but now i am getting another error
sql server 2000 dts designer components are required to edit dts packages. install the special web download, "SQL server 2000 DTS Designer component" to use this feature.
i am using SQL management studio 2008
my local window is windows 8 64-bit
Ideally DTS Packages should be upgraded to SSIS packages as we move from sql 2000 to sql 2005/sql 2008. And one of the good articles which provides information on how to upgrade DTS packages to SSIS package is written by Jason Howell
Microsoft blog to update sqlserver2000 dts to 2005/2008
Some one said that the issue with path :- Path issue

or
Are you migrate or edit dts which is older version?
You have to installed this :-

The reason are:-
"You might need the 2000 runtime if you run this as a DTS package as well. I haven't worked with this in 2008, so I'm not sure, but 2005 had a runtime component as well."
http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic625890-148-1.aspx
"However, if all instances of the SQL Server 2000 relational engine are removed or upgraded to SQL Server 2008 R2, the ability to develop DTS packages will no longer exist. The SQL Server 2008 R2 Setup application will install an updated DTS runtime and command-line tools, but no DTS design environment will be available. In this case, you can install the DTS Designer Components via a Web download as part of the Feature Pack for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - December 2008. For more DTS-related upgrade information, see Considerations for Upgrading Data Transformation Services in SQL Server 2008 R2 Books Online.

In production I have SQL Server 2008 R2. I want to create DTSX/SSIS packages but when I go to the Microsoft Express site ( https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/products/visual-studio-express-vs.aspx ) I'm not sure which studio will work.
Will "Express 2013 for Windows Desktop" work for my case? I already have "Express 2012 for Web" and SQL Server 2008 Management Studio installed locally so will that interfere?
You will need the relevant version of SSDT (SQL Server Data Tools). According to this page, if the latest version doesn't work, these older versions might:

Can we run a legacy DTS package written for and currently running on an instance of SQL Server 2000 on a server running SQL Server 2008 R2?
We have a database that we know will run fine on SQL Server 2008 R2 but the legacy DTS package is causing us concern in migrating. We would even consider an alternative that included loading components of SQL Server 2000 just to have the ability to run this DTS package.
From the MSDN article Migrating DTS Packages to Integration Services
Support for DTS in SQL Server 2008
DTS packages can still run as before when you have the SQL Server 2008
database engine installed. To accomplish this, you must have the
Microsoft SQL Server Backward Compatibility feature installed from the
SQL Server installation media or the Feature Pack Web page. This
installs the DTS runtime for SQL Server 2008, which works on 32-bit
platforms only.
If you perfom an in-place upgrade from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server
2008, then all the DTS packages stored locally will be preserved as
DTS packages in SQL Server 2008. The upgrade process does not
automatically migrate DTS packages to the Integration Services format.
To edit the DTS packages, you must have the Microsoft SQL Server 2000
DTS Designer Component installed, which is part of the SQL Server 2005
Feature Pack and is a separate download from the Microsoft website.
You can manage your DTS packages from SQL Server Management Studio
under the Management à Legacy à Data Transformation Services node.
Here, you can open existing DTS packages stored on the file system or
in the msdb database, or add additional packages to the server by
clicking the Import button. New DTS packages cannot be created from
Management Studio, but old packages can be modified and renamed.
You can import DTS packages old format (*.dts) into SQL Server 2008R2 from Management > Legacy > Data Transformation Services.
I had Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition installed in my computer. When i installed this VS 2008 version, SQL Server 2005 was also automatically installed. I just had to install SQL Management Studio
Because i want to install SQL Server 2008. I un-installed SQL Server 2005 and tried to install SQL Server 2008. But in the "Installation Rules" section in the installing setup, it prompts a message saying "Previous Release of VS 2008 Failed" (see the image below)
When I google it, i came to Microsoft Support where they say the VS Version i have must be Service Pack 1 and must be a release version (not beta version). Now I'm confused with it.
What should I do?
How do I find the Service Pack Version of VS 2008
How do I find if the version is a release or a beta one
I recently installed VS 2010 C# Express and Web Developer 2010 Express. Without going to SQL Server 2008 can I work with VS 2010 with SQL Server 2005?
How do I find the Service Pack Version of VS 2008?
There are service packs for Visual Studio 2008 express that are different to the VS2008 standard / prof etc service packs.
How do I find if the version is a release or a beta one? No idea.
I recently installed VS 2010 C# Express and Web Developer 2010 Express. Without going to SQL Server 2008 can I work with VS 2010 with SQL Server 2005?
Yes you can work with SQL 2005 with both of those to the best of my knowledge.
You can try uninstalling all instances of visual studio and then installing sql 2008 but that would be a last resort i would think. Trying the vs2008 express service packs would be my first step.

See this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/956139 and for a more detailed answer see this

I also had this issue and when I visited Microsoft site, then I found this solution and it worked.
Alright I know there is a lot on here about this, but I haven't gotten the information nor the answer.
I have Visual Studio 2008 and Visual Studio 2005. (I want to keep using 2008)
I have Microsoft SQL Server 2005. (Without BIDS)
Which version of BIDS should I get. If I get BIDS 2008 will it work even though I use SQL 2005.
BIDS 2008 can connect to databases of earlier versions. The question is where are you going to run the packages from if you don't have at least one 2008 server? I've not tried to schedule a 2008 package on a 2005 server, but I suspect it can't be done.
Basically, you have to have VS2005 and VS2008 Running side by side aka both installed on the computer along with BIDS for each. Luckily, hard drives are huge these days.
i found this link that actually had the answer which was:
I think what I was bascially asking is that, If I install visual studio 2008, and lets say I already had visual 2005 installed, then to create a business intellijance project I must install interation service for 2008. Integration service from 2005 is not going to work on visual studio 2008 is what it seems like.
That's correct. To create SSIS packages for SQL Server 2008 you will need to use Visual Studio 2008 with the SSIS project template that is installed when you install the SSIS components. You cannot use Visual Studio 2005 to create SSIS 2008 packages, nor can you use Visual Studio 2008 to create SSIS 2005 packages.

Is it possible to run an SSIS package created by SQL 2008 Business Intelligence Studio in a SQL 2005 environment? I'd rather not have to install SQL 2005 / VS 2005 in my development environment.
SQL Server 2008 uses a different scripting environment called VSTA(Visual Studio Tools for Applications) whereas Sql Server 2005 uses VSA(Visual Studio for Applications). This talks a little more about VSTA here: VSTA explanation
Yes it is possible - I run 2008 developed dtsx packages all the time on our 2005 box.
