I'm not one to make arbitrary changes just because someone tells me to, but I'm at a loss here so I tried doing what I've read in other posts. i.e. Change the Debugging Run64Bitruntime to False (previously set to true), but it didn't fix the problem.

I've also looked into the ProtectionLevel property. It's currently set to EncryptAllWithUserKey (as suggested) but the error still occurs. For giggles (grrrrr), I tried DontSaveSensitive....still fails with the same error.

Lastly, I looked into setting-up a config file to deploy with the SSIS package. I didn't try it because it doesn't make sense...what settings would I possibly need to set in a config file that would fix this problem....when the problem itself isn't even defined yet? (although I guess I threw logic out the window with the seemingly arbitrary ProtectionLevel and Run64BitRunTime changes suggested by others).

I'm still thinking it's a driver/software problem on the server because of the, "ClassNotRegistered" and failed method-call errors in the description.

Anybody have any advice? Anybody? Anybody at all? :crazy:
