I understand that you do not want to fatten up the default installation with things that may not be used and I appreciate that. The only complaint I have with it is that I can not select this backwards compatibility component during the standard installation or when I try to add features to a currently installed instance. I would like to see the option there and not have to dig down into the installation media to find that one MSI to do the install. Thanks again for the comment on this. Deepfat,

My other comment would be that DTSXChange is the killer tool for migrating DTS to SSIS.
