I have not read the article about SSIS and mono but I did have an XP machine with .NET 3.5 installed on as well as a development edition of SQL Server 2005. I grabbed the latest versions of IP 1.1 and 2.0 from codeplex and created a simple SSIS package that had a single script task with a hello world message box. I can run the package fine from the command line (dtexec) and I can invoke it via your supplied python script with both version of IP and it has no issues.
Having not touched Mono before, I assume that I merely click the Mono 2.2 Command prompt and invoke my IP the same way. Assuming that is correct, I achieve the same results as above. Given that you have the error in both mono and MS's supplied run time, I suspect your issue is a lack of SQL Server. From my time on the msdn forums for SSIS, a recurring theme was that people wanted to provide packages as solutions to be run on boxes without having SQL Server installed. Perhaps it's just a licensing thing and there's no real trick to it beyond having the DLLs, but the common respone there was that it was not possible to run packages where the database was not installed. I don't have any environments to test against that don't have SQL Server on it to prove/disprove that notion but otherwise I'd be happy to try and help out if there is anything you'd like for me to try. /bill _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@lists.ironpython.com http://lists.ironpython.com/listinfo.cgi/users-ironpython.com
