BUG: Error message when you run, import, or migrate a SQL Server 2000 DTS package that contains an instance of the Analysis Services Processing task in SQL Server 2005: "Invalid class string"

BUG #: 409361 (SQLBUDT)

SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario. In Microsoft SQL Server 2005, you run, import, or migrate a Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Data Transformation Services (DTS) package. The SQL Server 2000 DTS package contains an instance of the Analysis Services Processing task. In this scenario, you receive the following error message:
Invalid Class String

CAUSE

During the SQL Server 2005 installation, the support for the Analysis Services Processing task in SQL Server 2000 DTS is installed as the Msmdtsp.dll file. The Msmdtsp.dll file is not correctly registered after the SQL Server 2005 installation.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, click Start, click Run, type the following command, and then click OK:
regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Analysis Services\Bin\msmdtsp.dll"
