How to install SSIS in Visual Studio 2019 ?

How to install the SQL Server Integration Services, i.e., SSIS projects, in Visual Studio 2019?

This is a Microsoft tutorial about installing SSIS in Visual Studio 2019. Of course, we assume that Visual Studio 2019 is already installed on your computer, which is using for example the Windows 10 operating system.

With Visual Studio 2017, SSIS, SSAS and SSRS projects were available with the installation of SSDT (SQL Server Data Tools). This has changed with Visual Studio 2019. Integration Services tools and services are widely in Decision Support System projects.

The SSIS tutorial is also available as a step-by-step video, with a Visual Studio 2019 version.

  1. Could not find PerfWatson2 in the details tab of Task Manager, but I did eventually find it in another tab and stopped it. Everything else went fine with the setup and I now have my first SSIS Project.
