SSIS Package Execution Error: Directory Not Specified. In SSMS - ssis

Hoping for some help with a package execution error I am receiving. I have a basic SSIS Package that has an FTP task to log into an FTP site and copy everything out to a network drive folder. The folder is hard coded in the LocalPath and added as an existing folder in the Connection Manager.
If I run the package in SSIS it runs without any issue.
I deployed the package to an SSISDB in the Integration Services Catalog in SSMS. If I select the package and simply execute it I get the following error.
It states the directory is not specified, but I am not seeing the short coming.
I tried researching the issue but am coming up short on a solution to have the package run.

SSIS package generates blank excel file when executed from SQL Job

I have an SSIS package that simply exports a database field into a excel file. When I run it in BIDS OR SSMS it outputs perfectly however when I run it from an SQL Job it only creates an empty excel file.
If your SQL server agent get the package from Integration Service Catalog, make sure the deployed package has every task enabled, or you could enable the certain importing task and deploy again to the server. Sometimes the deployed package has disabled tasks which may not noticed by the one who deploy the package.
If you use file system, also make sure certain task has been enabled.
More important, make sure that you are using the UNC path for tasks getting access to that file.

Could not find schema file in network drive (e.g. \\UNC_Path\myfile.xsd) when executing SSIS package under sql server Catalogs

My package is used to extract data from xml to database.
When I execute the package in visual studio, it completes all task successfully.
But when I deployed the package to server and execute the package under Integration Services Catalogs, it fails to get the xml schema file on a network drive with error message: 'The file "\\UNC_Path\myfile.xsd" was not found'.
Thanks
I just had the same problem and that fixed it (thanks billinkc)
The account that is running the SSIS package does not have access to \\UNC_Path\myfile.xsd

Project Connection Managers in SSIS

When I try to run my Package from SQL Server Management Studio(I've got it in Stored Packages in Integration Services Service) or just by double clicking package file, I get an error:
Connection Manager not found.
If I make connection manager as package instead of project It runs fine.
I found this problem on google but didn't find solution.
I haven't deploy my package to ssisdb yet so I don't know if it's working in that case.
I found out that this is common problem in SSIS. If you deploy your application - project (scope project- instead of package) connection managers will be visible and package will work. But if you want to run a package by double clicking in folder - you can't use project connection managers.

Can the Execute Package task execute a package stored in TFS?

I just added a new folder and several packages to TFS server from source control, and they do exist when checking from source control.
However, none of them could be found when I tried to build a Parent package and to locate those uploaded packages in SQL server. My operation is as follows:
1. Add "Execute Package Task" component, then double click to edit
2. Package Location: SQL Server;
Connection: XXXX;
Package Name: Here pops up a list of folders and package files but newly uploaded ones are not included.
"Connection" is filled correctly because old filefolders and packages (uploaded by other people) are listed in Package Name pop-up window.
So how could I configure my packages on TFS to make it shown from SQL Server package list?
P.S. I'm using Visual Studio 2008 and SQL Server 2008
You can't. As the documentation says:
The Execute Package task can run packages stored in the SQL Server
msdb database and packages stored in the file system. The task uses an
OLE DB connection manager to connect to SQL Server and a File
connection manager to access the file system.
The Execute Package task has no idea what TFS is or how to connect to it. If you really needed to do this, then you would have to write your own custom task that does know how to connect to TFS.
However I have no idea why you want to execute packages directly from TFS anyway, it's a source control system (among other things), not a package repository.

Installing a SSIS package. Slightly confused

Ok - this is probably a silly question but what the hell.
I've created a SSIS package with configuration and a deployment manifest. When I copied this over to the server and double clicked it, the Package Wizard returned an error - that Integration Services wasn't installed - bad.
But when I did an export data task via SSMS, I noticed I could save this task as a package. When I set up a job I noticed I could actually select an SSIS package to schedule - even though SSIS is not installed(!?!) Does this mean I could just point to my earlier package and schedule that?
If so, do you only need Integration Services installed in order to install packages within SQL Server - its fine to run them from the file system?
