title: Visual Studio 2017 SSIS Error (0xc001f041)
body: <p>No matter which SQL Server version I use I get the following error when I try to drag common tasks (like Send Mail) into the Package:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Failed to create the task.</p>
    
    <p>Cannot create a task from XML for task "", type "" due to error
    0xC001F041 "Cannot create a task from XML. This occurs when the
    runtime is unable to resolve the name to create a task. Verify that
    the name is correct.".  (Sequence Container)"</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I have no clue as to why that is happening and couldn't find any information on the internet either.</p>
  
  <p>The strange thing is that I can drag the same tasks into the package when I use solutions that we've developed based on Sql Server 2008 R2 years ago. Restarting the machine didn't help. I could try to repair the Visual Studio installation, but I don't really want to lose all of my settings, extensions and such.</p>
  
  <p>Apparently it works fine for a colleague. I deleted all .tbd-files in AppData/Local/Microsoft/VisualStudio, but neither of those files gets recreated when I start Visual Studio. I also tried to restore Toolbox defaults. </p>
  
  <p>Executing the following command didn't help either. The same error is still appearing whenever I try to drop about 3/4 of the tasks into the package.</p>
  
  <pre><code>devenv /ResetSettings
  devenv /setup
  devenv /resetskippkgs
  devenv.exe /InstallVSTemplates 
  </code></pre>
