Select & copy (CTRL+C) the following files: SEMSFC.DLL, SQLGUI.DLL, SQLSVC.DLL.
In case it doesn't, check out the Troubleshooting paragraph below for a brief list of common issues & fixes. If everything is true, you should be good to go: reboot your machine, launch SSMS 2005 and check out if the DTS Designer is working properly as it should. Both ot them are mentioned before any other path containing "Microsoft SQL Server".The PATH environment variable contains the two folders described above.The last thing you need to do to get the job done is to manually edit your system PATH environment variable ( Control Panel > System > Advanced > Evironment Variables) and ensure that both the following conditions are true: To ease the transition, Microsoft did ensure some backwards compatibility with the release of some packages that basically ensured full DTS support - including the Designer component - in SQL Server Management Studio 2005.Ĭ : \Program Files \Microsoft SQL Server \80 \Tools \Binn \Įnsure that they have been created and that they contain a decent amount of DLL files: if they do, keep going, otherwise you'll need to reinstall SSMS and start over again (be sure to do a full / complete installation this time).
Unfortunately for it, DTS has been discontinued few years after its release - being superseded by SQL Server Integration Services starting from SQL Server 2005: an umpredictable turn of events that wasn't so great for those developers who used to work with it. One of the most interesting features of DTS was its Designer component, which used to run within SQL Enterprise Manager - the "old" SQL Management Studio - as an external module. Among the various things I had to do to update their software packages, the hardest issue was to make the Data Transformation Services (DTS) Designer components work with with a not-so-terrible version of SQL Server Management Studio, such as SSMS 2008 - which you can still download from this MS official link.įor those who don't know it, the DTS Designer components is a software package which allows developers to work with the Data Transformation Services objects with a visual GUI: such tool was quite popular in early 2000's, from SQL Server 7 to SQL Server 2000 and it basically allowed data to be transformed and loaded from heterogeneous sources using OLE DB, ODBC, or text-only files, into any supported database (MS Access, SQL Server, Microsoft Jet and so on). Today I had to update a certain number of old Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP virtual machines to their Windows Server 2016 and Windows 10 up-to-date counterparts.
