This happens when loading a package and the file cannot be opened or
loaded correctly into the XML document. This can be the result of
either providing an incorrect file name was specified when calling

Any ideas on how can I solve it?

Answer 1

i had a similar problem and what i did to get my package to run was:
a. Open Job properties in SQL Server
b. On the Steps page in the Package field: I used the entire folder name instead of the mapped name, for example: \share\allusers\myuserid\mypackage.dtsx instead of A:\mypackage.dtsx
Best.

Answer 2

It looks to me like the Service account for the SQL Agent doesn't have permissions to read package.dtsx.
Maybe check which account is running the SQL Agent & give it NTFS read permissions to C:\Users\ygal1\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\Integration Services Project2\Integration Services Project2
Or store the DTSX file in a location the SQL Agent account can access?
