I have an SSIS package that I wrote in 2008 and I need to run on server that has 2005.
I know I can not convert the 2008 down to 2005.
My question is can I copy the 2008 version of DTEXEC.exe from the 2008 server to the 2005 server and just point my jobs to use the 2008 version I copied to the 2005 server?
I am not sure if there is other files/etc that are needed or different versions of DLL’s, etc. Or is the DTEXEC.EXE a standalone program and what I am proposing will work?
Just copying the .exe wont help. The dtexec.exe is going to look for the required DLL files and when it doesnt find those, it will fail. You will need to either install 2008 or redesign the package in 2005.
