title: Cannot open a SQL Server 2000 DTS package I imported into SQL Server 2008
body: <p>I am running into a problem trying to open a SQL Server 2000 DTS package I imported into SQL Server 2008. I set up a new server and installed a fresh install of SQL Server 2008.  The database I need to run is a SQL Server 2000 database. I moved the database over with no problem but there are a few DTS packages that need to run in legacy on SQL Server 2008. I exported the DTS packages I need out of SQL2000 and imported them successfully into SQL Server 2008. My SQL Server 2008 is x64.</p>
  
  <p>I can see the DTS packages under Data Transformation Service in Legacy but when I try to open the package I get this message. "SQL Server 2000 DTS Designer components are required to edit DTS packages.  Install the special web download, "SQL Server 2000 DTS Designer components" to use this feature.  (Microsoft.SqlServer.DtsObjectExplorerUI)"</p>
  
  <p>I downloaded the components and installed them and still get this error.  I researched and found an article about this not working on x64 so I have an x86 machine that I installed the SQL Server 2008 tools and tried to open the package from there and got the same error.  </p>
  
  <p>I have spent days on this and need help.  Has anyone run across this and can tell me what to do.  If you have solved this problem, please help me out.  Thanks.</p>
