In BIDS 2008 (Visual Studio 2008 with SSIS), the project setting “CreateDeploymentUtility” does not seem to persist when the project is re-opened.

Right click on project, choose properties, in the dialog I set this setting to True, save the project, close it re-open it, and the this setting is back to false.

  • Is this an issue anyone else has seen?
  • Is there a way to hack-up the project file to keep this setting set to True?

We are using TFS 2010, I have the vs 2008 service packs (version 9.0.30729.4462 QFE) , Am I missing a hotfix or something?

    I do not experience this. This setting is stored in ProjectName.dtproj.user (surprised me too)

    If you’re looking to hack, nested under Options for your configuration, add a row

    <CreateDeploymentUtility>true</CreateDeploymentUtility>

    My guess would be that the .user file is locked and BIDS isn’t letting you update it nor is it checking it out.

    Clearing the read-only bit can be done through the command line

    attrib -r C:\src\ProjectName\ProjectName.dtproj.user

    Or you can can right-click on the file, select Properties and uncheck Read-only
