I'm afraid I know the answer to this already, but I'm hoping someone can point me in a better direction. I just finished developing a large ETL project using VS2013. My dev machine has SQL Server 2012 installed, and everything works perfectly executing from within VS. However, I just went to deploy the project to another device running SQL Server 2012, and got a version error.
I thought if I could open the solution in VS2012, the packages might recompile correctly. However, I can't open them in VS2012 due to version errors again ("version can't be lower than current version" error). I'm pissed because everything worked fine in development with the VS2013/SQL2012 combo, but now suddenly it's no good?!?
Can someone please help me figure out how to get these packages downgraded to work with VS2012/SQL2012? There are only a few script tasks involved if that makes a difference. Mostly it's just basic SSIS tasks and data flows.
Thanks.
I found a workaround how you can "downgrade" your SSIS 2014 packages to SSIS 2012. I wrote it on my blog here:
http://vaniecastro.com/2015/02/26/how-to-downgrade-sql-server-integration-services-2014-packages-to-2012/
The idea is that you need to manually modify the XML file, change the PackageFormatVersion and replace ExecutableType property and componentClassID attribute values to use the DTSX2 Version 2012/01 values instead of the DTSX2 Version 2014/01 ones.
You can try using Visual Studio 2015 SSDT Preview. This now allows you to choose which version of SQL Server you want to target, including SQL Server 2012. I successfully downgraded my packages from VS 2013 / SQL Server 2014 to SQL Server 2012 this way.

Once the shell is installed, go to the Project menu=>Project Properties=>Configuration Properties=>TargetServerVersion and choose 2012.
We need to perform the following using InstallShield 2013, can someone please guide me:
Check if SQL Server Express is installed in the user's machine or not.
If present, what is the version that is present.
If the version is not 2012, then we need to install SQL Server Express 2012 silently in the background.
Give write access on a folder for a particular login (Sql service)
After installation of SQL Express 2012, we need to restore a database from a .bak file.
After restoring the db, how to run some sql scripts?
Please provide me any link or guidance on how to acheive the above objectives. I am also parallely trying to read the documentation and blogs, but they are vast.
Thanks in advance,
Pavan
There are different ways to achieve it. You can do a check using prerequisite and get it installed. You can use custom action or install script to do the silent install of SQL server after doing registry check.
once installed, using the script you can restore the database, and installshiled basic msi provides options to include the sql scripts and run it or using the installscript you can run the sql scripts .
When I start up VS 2012 RC I get the following loading error message:
The 'SqlStudio Profile Package' package did not load correctly.
The problem may have been caused by a configuration change or by the installation
of another extension. You can get more information by examining the file
'C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\ActivityLog.xml'.
I also have SQL Server 2012 RTM installed.
What can I do to get rid of this warning?
Open Control Panel
Open Programs and Features
Locate all items named “Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Data-Tier App Framework"
Note: There might be up to 4 such instances all with the above name
Right click each of them and select Repair
That should solve this issue.
Janaka solution worked for me.
But if you do not want to lose your VS configuration, remove only the file :
Microsoft.VisualStudio.Default.cache
from the folder
%UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\ComponentModelCache
Hope it helps.
Remove the following folders.
C:\Users\UName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0
C:\Users\UName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0
See this
It turns out that (in my case), the Data Tools installer has a bug whereby you end up with a registry full of:
Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0Common7
...paths, when it should be:
Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7
Fixing all the values and keys fixes the problem (for me).
(ps: no other solution in this thread worked for me)
Just reinstall SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT)
I had to run VS as an administrator in order to clear this issue.
Problem: The 'SqlStudio Profile Package' package did not load correctly.
Proven Solution:
Removing Microsoft.VisualStudio.Default.Cache fixes the problem outlined above. It worked!
I am using Sharepoint Designer 2007. I cannot add new workflow or amend existing workflow. I am using Windows Server 2008 R2. I have tried the following post. But I cannot get the directory specified.
Other users can access the workflow, but it happens only for me.

Did anyone have this issue.
Try to update your office 2007 with the latest Microsoft patches. I remember having this problem before but don't remember how I fixed it! :(
I'm new to SharePoint and I'm creating a public website using SharePoint Server 2007.
I want to create solution or installer of my SharePoint website to copy it to another server other then my local machine.
Anyone helps me out to solve this problem.
Thanks.
You could have a look at SharePoint Installer. Very useful to create installer .exe from a SharePoint Solution. Especially useful if you use WSPBuilder.
With these 2 tools, you can create a setup project in no time at all (2 steps).
Assuming you know SharePoint, I'd advise looking at the SharePoint extension for Visual Studio at Microsoft downloads
