visual studio 2019 open solution file incompatible

Question

I think I was using visual studio 2017 and wrote a SSIS package. Now I installed visual studio 2019 and can't open the solution file. Error:

Unsupported This version of Visual Studio is unable to open the following projects. The project types may not be installed or this version of Visual Studio may not support them. For more information on enabling these project types or otherwise migrating your assets, please see the details in the "Migration Report" displayed after clicking OK. - ABC, "C:\Users\XYZ\ABC.dtproj"

Non-functional changes required Visual Studio will automatically make non-functional changes to the following projects in order to enable them to open in Visual Studio 2015, Visual Studio 2013, Visual Studio 2012, and Visual Studio 2010 SP1. Project behavior will not be impacted. - ABC_SSIS, "C:\Users\XYZ\ABC_SSIS.sln"

I tried "Right-click on the project and reload" - didn't work.

I tried to confirm SSDT is installed: it is installed at the installation interface, but doesn't exist in extension manager:

Answer 1

SSIS is a seperate extension now in Visual Studio 2019. You can install that extension in Visual Studio market place. Choose Online tab and search for "SQL Server Integration Services Projects".Hope it can help your problem

Answer 2

• 1.Extensions -> Microsoft Reporting Service Project
• 2.and then close visual studio
• 3.VSIX installer will complete automatically
• 4.If your project unloaded, right click on project and reload

Answer 3

Today I faced this issue,

Cause

The reason for issue is, I saw a yellow bg notification at the top of IDE showing performance issue , with option to "disable this" to improve the performance. I chose disable, later next day when I opened the project, It showed the project is not compatible. I did Repair SSIS, Uninstall and Reinstall SSIS, and also updated the SSIS to latest version. None of these 3 ways resolved the issue.

Solution

But, I found Manage Extension submenu item under Extension menu, Under installed tab, SSIS extension was in disabled status. I reverted to Enabled status. Sample screenshot of the same for reference is here. If it disabled, simply enable it. Then restart VS with SSIS project.

Answer 4

Enabling the SSIS in manage extensions solved this for me.

Answer 5

Me too, for SSRS, I stupidly clicked the yellow box.

ReInstalling the SSRS Extension didn't help. Now I've uninstalled VS entirely, then reinstalled, then installed Data Tools, rebooting between each. Then added SSRS extension, exit & it installs & I rebooted. I STILL get the incompatible message when opening existing SSRS package. Adding a NEW project, SSRS isn't listed.

I guess I'm going to a system restore point (sadly - I've installed 2 other softwares since my last restore point). Hope it works!

Answer 6

1. Extensions ... Manage Extensions
2. Online ... Visual Studio Marketplace
3. SQL Server Integration Services Projects
4. Download
5. Close Visual Studio and then run the download
6. When finished, open your existing SSIS project and right-click the project and select "Reload" or "Reload with dependancies"

You can also now start a new Integration Services project.
