SSIS Exception - The Script Task uses version 15.0 script that is not supported in this release of Integration Services

I recently encountered SSIS exception - The Script Task uses version 15.0 script that is not supported in this release of Integration Services , when I included the script task in SSIS package to zip the generated text file and tried to run the SSIS package through command prompt.

   Source: Script Task Script Task

   Description: There was an exception while loading Script Task from XML: System.Exception: The Script Task "ST_08f0882909d74636bd9612a8d0e85790" uses version 15.0 script that is not supported in this release of Integration Services. To run the package, use the Script Task to create a new VSTA script. In most cases, scripts are converted  automatically to use a supported version, when you open a SQL Server Integration Services package in %SQL_PRODUCT_SHORT_NAME% Integration Services.

End Error

SSIS Package:

Here is command script to run ETL SSIS package

C:\Users\rtiwari>DTEXEC /FILE C:\Users\rtiwari\source\repos\PDFSharp_Merge\ETL_Extract.dtsx

After researching all possible cause, I found there could be two reason, why this SSIS exception is getting encountered.

1.   Deployed SSIS package ‘s target framework is not matching on deployed server :

Here is steps to fix the target framework for deployed SSIS package

Ø  Right click the SSIS project in the Project Explorer -> Click on Property

Ø  Click on Configuration Properties and Change TargetServerVersion è SQL Server 2017 

2.   Second reason really surprised me it was version of DTEXEC.exe. If the version of DTEXEC.exe command is not latest version, then also it throw exception.

Might be there are different version of SQL server Data Tool installed on your machine, Please look the below folders for different version of DTEXEC.exe

               

·         Open a Command Prompt window, change to the directory that contains the latest version of utility command, and then run the utility from that location

C:\Program Files(x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\140\DTS\Binn> DTEXEC /FILE C:\Users\rtiwari\source\repos\PDFSharp_Merge\ETL_Extract.dtsx

·         At the command prompt, run the utility DTEXEC.exe by entering the full path (:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\140\DTS\Binn).

C:\Program Files(x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\140\DTS\Binn\DTEXEC.exe /FILE C:\Users\rtiwari\source\repos\PDFSharp_Merge\ETL_Extract.dtsx
