Like many shops, I am working in a heterogeneous environment. Old Production is SQL Server 2008 R2 Express. We are currently migrating to new production environment of SQL Server 2012 Enterprise. We've been told by our DBA team, that we will probably be upgrading to SQL Server 2016 Enterprise in Q2 of 2017. In real terms, as an ETL developer, I have Visual Studio 2008 (BIDS), Visual Studio 2010 (Shell), Visual Studio 2012 Pro (/w Data Tools), and Visual Studio 2015 Pro (/w Data Tools).
My problem is one of version incompatibility. I can edit and debug .DTSX packages in all environments but one... The one I need... Visual Studio 2012 Pro... The environment we're migrating to. I can build and edit packages, but whenever I activate the Debugger I get:
Unable to start program 'DTS'. The debugger is not properly installed. Cannot debug the requested type of code. Run setup to install or repair the debugger. (Microsoft Visual Studio Debugger).
I've run repair from my Visual Studio 2012 Pro installer, I've uninstalled and reinstalled, and I've tried various suggestions from various forums... all to no avail. Can anyone in this forum make a substantive suggestion on how I can fix this problem?
Thanks!
