This isn't Microsoft's fix but it gave me what I really needed - to verify if a (simple data transform - sql query to flat file) task completed successfully. To do this, follow exactly what the message states ... "or on the system's console". [The admin resolution required too many hands in the pot when all I needed was verification of results].

'or on the system's console':

IE, from VS menu - do not run 'Debug>Start Debugging' but run 'Debug>Start Without Debugging'. This will open the 'console' (ala, command window). The execution results will echo to the screen. Navigate/explore expected results. Mine were where expected and data was as expected.
