  My VS2017 version : 15.9.6 (Enterprise)
  SSIS version : 15.0.900.40

  Hello,

  My client has a SSIS project which I need to modify.
  I was created on a previous version of VS, don't know which.
  This project builds without problem on VS2015 in 2016 mode, but my client wants all dev environments to be 2017.
  I'm having a hard time building this project on VS2017.
  The project opens without problem, I can see all packages and open them as well.
  When I build, It starts but appears to run indefinitely, without progress bar (well over an hour and counting).
  When I look into some packages the problem seems to come from package auto-migration from 13.0.2165.0 to 15.0.0900.40.
  Almost one quarter of the code is somehow changed during this operation.

  My questions :
  Can someone explain to me why VS2017 is so different from VS2015?
  If I open and slightly modify each package and save them... will I then be able to build my project?
  Do I really need to do this manually or can I tell VS2017 to do that to all the packages of this project?

  Thanks,

  Vince
