General question about SSIS Solution/Projects

  1. I copied a folder containing a *.sln, *.dtproj and many *.dtsx files to my Desktop

  2. I opened up the solution from my DESKTOP and saw that the packages within the opened project still pointed to the packages at their original location, not the desktop location that I copied them to.

Opening up the dtproj file in notepad, I see that the references to the packages in the project are not relative, but fully qualified and set to the original location.

Is this normaL? Was something done diefferently when the packages were originally added such that the references were stored as fully qualified instead of relative? This sure seems like undesirable behavior and I generally thought that Visual Studio uses relative references in a proj file.

Looks like it has been identified as a bug - SSIS files should not store absolute paths.

Did you happen to pull your project files from source control?
