I am not sure exactly what this error is. We had a hard drive crash not too long ago and I lost a few SSIS jobs. One of the jobs points to an exe file that needs to run first and it points to the G: drive. I have also tried typing the UNC path directly, but still get the same. Is there something else to this error that I might be missing?
Thanks

Is the batch file in the root of the G drive? Please try moving it to a subfolder - I've seen strange things happen when trying to programatically access files in the the root of a drive.

Is G: a local or network drive?
Does the SQL Agent user have rights to the folder?

Nope, not in the root, it is in a subdirectory. Also this dtsx file is not published to SQL server. It is run from a batch file using the DTEXEC utility. I changed all instances of "G:" in the XML code to read the direct UNC of \\sql12_01\swmbh\... This is a share directory on that server. But now I get this error

In the first error, you're missing a backslash from your path. What it's looking for is a file called "sftpto Televox.bat". Do you have Integration Services installed on the server? I think that second error may be telling you that you don't.

I am sure that is the issue (not having IS installed). I will get in contact with our network admin who has been rebuilding this server and make sure it is. Thanks for the information
