Running a .dtsx created in VS2005 in VS2008

I have a .dtsx that I originally created in VS2005. I would like to get the
designer of VS2008 to be able to edit the code so that I can maintain the
.dtsx in VS2008 instead of VS2005. Even though VS2008 seemed to indictate
that it converted the .sln and other files to the VS2008 format, the .dtsx
wouldn't open in the designer nor display in the Solution Explorer.

When I click on the .sln file it says that xxx.dtproj cannot be opened
because its project type (.dtproj) is not supported by this version of the
application.

Any suggestions?

Open up VS2008 and try creating a new project. When you are presente with a
list of Project Types, is SSIS one of them? If not, it is possible that not
all features of VS 2008 were installed.

SSIS is not one of the listed Project Types in my VS2008 installation. So, I
reinserted the installation disk hoping that I could add it. I originally
installed everyting except C++. Didn't even see an Option for SSIS while in
Maintenance Mode (Add/Remove features).

Not really sure were to go next.

The BI project types are not included in the VS installation. They
will be installed with BIDS using the sql server setup. After this
you will have all project types in VS.

I installed VS2005 and VS2008 on my machine before I installed SQL 2005. The
SS BIDS shows up in the SQL directory and seems to only be a 2005
installation.

That's been my experience too. On a machine with only VS2008 installed,
installing SQL 2005 with BIDS installs VS2005 and the BIDS projects still
only appear under VS2005. If I try to open a BIDS project in VS2008, it says
it converts the solution file to VS2008, but then reports that VS2008 cannot
open the project file of type .dtsx.
