Fortunally MS has an addendum to 2005. SQLServer2005_DTS.msi(search for it on MS homepage). I don't know if this will work for 2008. But this addendumworked very well for me.

I just need to know if there are any issues that would prevent this from working eg Jet driver issues.Suggestions of any other approaches would be appreciated. I'm looking at the sample code from codeplex at the moment, but I'd rather avoid implementing a C# 'black box' exe if I can. The more transparent we can keep our solution the better...TIASun, 12 Oct 2008 23:49:04 GMTAdam-194437
