Package running in SSDT but not through the Execute Package Utility

Question

I created a package that will run in SSDT, but it will not run through the execute package utility when saved to the filesystem. Perhaps there is an easy fix, but I am unaware of one, and googling didn't seem to yield anything useful.

I am running SQL Server Enterprise 2017, as well as Visual Studio 2017 with the most recent version of SSDT. I have tried installing SQL Server 2018 to no avail.

The point is scheduling the package, one solution would be for package to run through DTExec.exe, alternatively if there is a way to automate running the package through SSDT that would also work.

The error:

To run a SSIS Package outside of SQL Server Data Tools you must install Standard Edition of Integration Services or higher.

The catch:

afaik I have SQL server enterprise installed as I can save SSIS packages to the file system through the SQL Server Import Export Wizard (before I received enterprise edition it said originally it required SQL server standard edition or higher to save the packages)

Answer 1

Make sure that you have selected the Integration Services check box while installing SQL Server features. It looks like you have installed SQL Server Data Tools for Visual Studio which allows you to create SSIS packages but you didn't install SSIS feature which is required to execute packages.

You can refer to the following official documentation for additional information:

• Install Integration Services

Answer 2

Make sure you have select the relevant TargetServerVersion property in the project configuration. You can refer to the following link for more information:
