Hi All, I created a package in a solution yesterday and for some reason it did not show up in the solution that I created it in. I tried to attach the package to the solution by going through Add Existing Package, but its giving me the error "Failed to save package file "C:\Documents and Settings\xxxx\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\XXXX_Tables\XXXX_Tables\pkg_ETL_TK_Register_Schema_Landing.dtsx" with error 0xC020207E "The file name is not valid. The file name is a device or contains invalid characters". This is also happening when I am trying to open a package that is deployed on the server, by going through the same Add Existing Package but again it is giving me the same error "Failed to save package file "C:\Documents and Settings\xxxx\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\XXXX_Tables\XXXX_Tables\pkg_ETL_TK_Register_Schema_Landing.dtsx" with error 0xC020207E "The file name is not valid. The file name is a device or contains invalid characters", but when my colleague goes and does the same thing, the package opens and it works. I am unable to find out why this is happening, could anyone please help me with this. Thanks Vineeshvineesh1701

It could be I am thinking the length of the path. Try to create a new solution on say C:\Test drive/folder and then bring this package. If works, you know why.Arthur My Blog

Copy the file name from package and try in windows explorer and see the file path is correct. ESHANI. Please click "Mark As Answer" if a post solves your problem or "Vote As Helpful" if a post has been useful to you

Hi Eshani Rao, Please try to register MSXML6.dll on your machine, follow these steps: 1. From the Start menu, click Run. 2. Enter the following command: regsvr32 %windir%\system32\msxml6.dll. 3. Click OK. And here is a similar thread, please refer to atulpatel.mca's reply in the following link: http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic594726-148-2.aspx Thanks, Eileen
