    I installed BIDS 2012 but I think it just integrates Visual Studio 2010 within it's shell, and in my case it detects my 2010 packages but when I try to open them I get error:

    Unsupported. This version of Vicual Studio does not have the following project types installed or does not support them:

    ..\ForeachLoopPractice\SSISPractice.dtproj

    I would be happy to recreate the package in 2012, but don't know how to open a brand new Integration Services Project. I click on SQL Server Template, then SQL Server Database Project, and it takes me to a database design window. No Integration Services in sight.

    So if someone else has insight into this crazy problem, I'd love to read it.

    Your error message suggests that you do not have the correct (or any) version of SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) installed - please check that. It's not called 'BIDS' any more, by the way.

    But you should not need to upgrade to 2012 to resolve this problem. Montana Life has asked two questions, both of which are relevant and both of which you seemed to ignore for some reason. Please answer them.

    If you haven't even tried to resolve your issue, please don't expect the hard-working volunteers here to waste their time providing links to answers which you could easily have found yourself.
