I have loaded a test system with win 2003 sp1 RC2. When I edit a dts
package on that server I can no longer edit the package from any other
location. I get a message about the designer failing to load or save the
package.

I think I have traced it down to MDAC issue. The 2003 sp1 appears to come
with MDAC version 2.82. The MDAC Compent Checker does not recognize the
version.

If I uninstall the the service pack then all is well again and the MDAC
reverts to 2.8 RTM based on the Component Checker.

Downgrading the MDAC using the mdac tool does not work. It reports that
downgrading it is not an option.


Has anybody else seen this issue? Does anybody know a way around this? I
tried saving the dts to a file and then loading with my XP SP2 box and hit
the same error message loading the file.

I posted to the SP1 newsgroup as suggested and after a few attempts over
several weeks I have not gotten any response there. Any other ideas
where I can go to get some help? It appears that they will not help me
or even respond.

Thanks,
Ron
