Import flat file into SQL Server 2005 with Import/Export wizard gives product level error

Question

I am using SQL Server Management Studio Enterprise 2005.

I am trying to import a text file with pipe delimited data into my SQLserver table. However when the process of importing, the system gave me this error log:

Operation stopped...

• Initializing Data Flow Task (Success)

• Initializing Connections (Success)

• Setting SQL Command (Success)

• Setting Source Connection (Success)

• Setting Destination Connection (Success)

• Validating (Error) Messages Error 0xc00470fe: Data Flow Task: The product level is insufficient for component "Source - userrolelist_TXT" (1). (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)

Error 0xc00470fe: Data Flow Task: The product level is insufficient for component "Data Conversion 1" (95). (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)

• Prepare for Execute (Stopped)

• Pre-execute (Stopped)

• Executing (Success)

• Copying to [SOD].[dbo].[userrolelist] (Stopped)

• Post-execute (Stopped)

• Cleanup (Stopped)

I have read that I would need to install SP2 because this is a bug. Anyone know how can I solve this and are there any other alternative I can use to import a pipe delimited data file into my tables?

Answer 1

Services required for SSIS on your SQL Server installation might not have been installed such as ervice, dtexec, and dtexecui.

I believe Kip has hit the nail on the head with the Integration Services Service not being installed.

If this is a straight import of data, it's hard to beat bcp or BULK INSERT.
