How to fix SSIS problem occurring after updating Visual Studio Professional 2019 to version 16.11.31

Question

After having updated Visual Studio Professional 2019 to version 16.11.31, I cannot open any of my SSIS solutions without getting an error message that an error occurred.

In the solution explorer, it says that the package is incompatible (I had some of them opened and run just before updating to version 16.11.31), and in the main window the package content is not shown, it just informs that an error has occurred in the package (.dtsx) and it shows the path to the .dtsx file and the following information:

Hello @Kåre Harder Olesen,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

Please try following:

1. If you can right-click your project in the solution explorer, then please right-click it, reload Project.
2. Try to remove project cache by closing VS, removing the hidden .vs folder in the solution folder and reopen your project.
3. Try to update the SSIS extension, if it’s already the latest version, then please try to uninstall and reinstall it.
4. Try to reset VS settings by running devenv /ResetSettings in Developer Command Prompt for Visual Studio 2019 Professional.

Best Regards,

Tianyu
