I apologize for my frustration showing, but...
After nearly 3 weeks, I have not had a reply to a previous post - this
statement needs upadting: "Post your technical questions in MSDN Forums to
receive a response from a Microsoft engineer within 2 business days if the
community hasn't already gotten you the answer."

I have had to reinstall OS & all software on development box after a HD
crash, but cannot get SSIS to work as before. My setup:

XP Pro Sp3
Visual Studio 2005 & 2008
SQL Server 2005 Standard with Integration Services

SQL Server Integration Services service is running, but I cannot run a SSIS
package. There's no file association to .dtsx files and VS 2005 does not
recognize .dtproj files to do so in debug mode.

I have gone through the great pain of un & re-installing SQL Server 2005
(and thus SSIS) to no avail.

I ran out of time to waste guessing the correct order of events and
dependencies a couple of weeks ago, and had hoped the previous post would
eventually lead to some guidance so I could take up the matter again. This
post serves as that hope's last gasp.

Check event logs on that machine.
Go to ...Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\LOG and check log file for that
package.
Create a simple maintenance plan and execute a job for that maintenance plan
- see what errors do you get.
