I am at my wits end with the error "Microsoft Visual Studio For Applications 2.0 Registration for this application needs to be updated". I have had this problem for some time on my development laptop running Windows 7. Fortunately I had a desktop with Windows XP that I could do my SSIS development work on. Now the company gives me a brand new desktop running Windows 7 since XP is going a way.
A Brand New Machine remind you! The only software installed is MSOffice 2010. I am thinking ok finally i will have a decent development environment and will not get the ScriptTask errors.
So off I go and download Sql Server 2008 R2 Standard SP3 edition from my MSDN subscription. After waiting who knows how long to download and three times as long to install I open up my SSIS project and excitely open a Script Task and click on Edit Script....Same error. Are you kidding me?
I uninstall SQL Server 2008R2 Standard edition and download Sql Server 2008 R2 Developer edition. Surely, just surely Microsoft will allow me to develop with the Developer edition! Wrong.
I have been through all the gyrations of removing registry entries, running setups, uninstalling VSTA and reinstalling. I used this link as a reference: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jason_howell/archive/2010/08/18/vsta-setup-and-configuration-troubles-for-ssis-2008-and-r2-installations.aspx. I still get the same error. Can anyone give me some kind of answer? Your help will be greatly appreaciated and I will give you my first born daughter. Granted she's 23 and the college tuition and car insurance payments come along with her.
Microsoft, I greatly thank you for the ability to use vb and c# scripts inside of SSIS packages. BUT WHY IS IT SO FREAKING HARD TO ACTUALLY USE IT AND WHY IS IT SO HARD TO ACTUALLY INSTALL A PIECE OF YOUR SOFTWARE AND EXPECT IT TO WORK? Maybe it's me and not you.
Frustration has entered the meeting...
