    Hi @Abraham2022 ,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

    Have you installed the “SQL Server Integration Services Projects” extension?

    About SQL Server Integration Services Projects (SSIS), you can install it from within Visual Studio with Extensions > Manage Extensions or from the Marketplace.

    If you have installed the extension, please open it and repair to try again.

    Sincerely,
    Anna
