SYMPTOMS

When you try to create a Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Integration Services (SSIS) package or a SQL Server maintenance plan, you receive the following error message:

No description found

This issue occurs when you install the original release version of Microsoft Office Visio 2003 after you install SQL Server 2005.

Note You may also experience this problem when you run the SQL Server Import and Export Wizard.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because the Microsoft Office Visio 2003 Setup program incorrectly sets the registry entries for Microsoft Core XML Services (MSXML). In this case, the wrong version of the Msxml.dll file is being used when you create SSIS packages or maintenance plans.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, install Microsoft Office Visio 2003 Service Pack 1. For more information about how to obtain Visio 2003 Service Pack 1, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, uninstall Visio 2003, and then reregister MSXML 3.0 or MSXML 4.0 for SQL Server 2005. To reregister MSXML, click Start, click Run, type the following command, and then click OK:

Regsvr32 "C:\WINDOWS\system32\msxml3.dll"

Note This command assumes that you want to reregister MSXML 3.0 and that the .dll file is located in the C:\WINDOWS\system32\ folder.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
