Cause of SSIS Custom Dataflow Component Error - Cannot be upgraded

Generally this means that the component was upgraded after the package was saved, and so it's at the wrong version number. You'll have to re-add the component, unfortunately 1.

You may be able to save the package as a new version and try migrating that. This may solve the problem of the automatic upgrade being called (and subsequently failing).


I had the same issue, it was a wrong set of target server version. You can check it by right clicking the project in the Solution Explorer and selecting Properties. Go to Configuration properties, General, and the TargetServerVersion option will be displayed. You can changed this to your target.


I had the same issue, the way round this for me was to deploy the whole project rather than an individual package. This resolved the issue and enabled the package to run as normal.
