You need to decide if you need the config file. You need them if you developed them using a different credentials and or file paths. To deploy you may need to modify the package security. This is how you deploy a package to SQL Server: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms140117.aspx (that is in general). This is a more exhaustive post on how to: http://www.dotnetfunda.com/articles/article1217-sql-server-integration-services-ssis-part-7-options-to-deploy-a-packa-.aspx You can deploy with BIDS Helper easily: http://bidshelper.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Deploy%20SSIS%20PackagesArthur My Blog

Hi Ravi, SSIS package use Config files to get values of package properties when package runs you cannot deploy package using config files you can only provide values to package when it runs using config files so suppose you have developed one package in dev. environment and when you want to deploy it to production so obvious environment values like DB connection string will be change that changeable values you can provide using config files when you deploy package. see this article http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc895212.aspx Now to other question how to deploy package ? for Deployment use manifest file .. see below links link1 link2 hope it make sense..
