Unable to open existing SSIS projects after downgrading VS2019 from 16.8.5 to 16.7.15.

Hi all,
I need to use SSRS for my current project. I saw online that people were having issues with it in VS 2019 v16.8.x and MS had advised to downgrade to 16.7.x. After I did that, I reinstalled SSIS but now I am unable to open any of my existing projects. Just says incompatible.

Any ideas?

    Hi @Russ Thompson ,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

    Did you install the Data storage and processing workload from VS Installer > Workloads and install the SQL Server Integration Services Project extension and enable it from Extensions > Manage Extensions?
