SSIS Toolbox only shows "loading …" but no items

Question

My SSIS project in Visual Studio Community 2019 suddenly stopped working. Error see title.

What I tried so far:

1. repair VS 2019
2. uninstalled/ installed SSIS Extension
3. updated VS 2019 (16.8.6 -> 16.11.23)
4. updated SSIS (4.4 -> 4.4.2)
5. created a new SIS Project
6. right clicking in the toolbox (does nothing)

All without success. Always the same error. What else can I try?

Hi @Rodegru

Please refer to the following steps:

1. Close Visual Studio (make sure devenv.exe is not running).
2. Open the folder %userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\VisualStudio[16.0]
3. There should be two-four files ending in .tbd (they may be hidden, so you'll have to set your options to show hidden folders and files).  Delete them.
4. Start VS again.

If the steps do not work, try to use the SSIS project v3.6.

If these all do not work, please report the issue here, hope that the product team will help us resolve it.

Hi Zoe Hui

Thanks for the support.

(1) Deleting the *.tbd files.

(2) Downgrading SIIS to 3.16 (your link pointed to this version and not to 3.6).

-- > no success

Thanks
