When I open up the solution that contains SSIS packages created by a colleague, I get this awkward error that tells me nothing about what I'm supposed to do to fix it.
He left instructions to take all the "variables" out of the connection string in the dtsx file manually before opening up the solution. I have done that, now when try to view the package in the designer I just get an image of a red x and this message.
EDIT: You cannot see any design elements, no tabs across the top to switch to errors or data flows. Just a gray center area on the screen with a red x, and the message, its like VisualStudio dies in the process of reading the dtsx file.
In the Solution Explorer, Right-click on the SSIS package and click on Execute. The Red-Cross icon on the execute SQL Task shows that the package execution failed. Click on the Progress tab for the detailed error message. By looking at the following screenshot, we can identify the error message.
Error Output provides three SSIS Error Handling options: Fail Component: If there is an error, then the transformation, source, destinations, etc., will fail. Ignore Failure: It will ignore the row's failures. Redirect Rows: It returns the successful rows to the specified destination and failed rows to failed output.
The question is rather unspecific so it’s of course difficult to get on the right track here. All of the given answers focus different issues. I would say that PeterX had the best guess. The reason for the error could be as simple as a modified data source.
I came across with a bug "error output has no corresponding output" quite often when adding a new column to a table that needs to be processed by an existing SSIS package. This bug came along with an error message saying that a "Value does not fall within the expected range".
A newly added column needed to be processed by an existing SSIS Package. The expected behavior is that SSIS will recognize that there is a new column and select this column on the columns page of the OLEDB Source Task SSIS to be processed. However, when opening the OLEDB Source Task for the first time after having modified the table I got twice the following error message: "Value does not fall within the expected range." The error message showed up when opening the editor and when opening the Columns page of the editor. Within the Advanced Editor of the OLEDB Source Task the new column showed up in the OLEDB Source Output Columns Tree, but not in the OLEDB Source Error Output Columns Tree. This is the actual underlying problem of the error message. Unfortunately, there seems to be no way to add the missing column manually.
To solve the problem, remove and re-add the newly added column on the Columns Page of the normal Editor as mentioned by Jeff.
It is worth to be mentioned that the data source of the OLEDB Source task was a modified MDS View. Microsoft CRM Dynamics – as mentioned in the related thread – is using views, too. That leads me to the conclusion, that using views as a data source may produce either of the above mentioned errors, when modifying datatypes or adding/removing columns.

The described workaround refers to Visual Studio 2008 Version 9.0.30729.4462 QFE with Mircorsoft.NET Framework 3.5 SP1. The database is SQL Server 2008 R2 (SP2).
I had to delete and recreate the OLE DB Data source in my Data Flow - this is where I got the error. I also noted I had to "re-select" the "OLE DB connection manager" in the drop-down-list to force it to recognise the new connection.
This was probably a combination of getting the solution from TFS (where I noticed the data-sources didn't come-across properly and it complaining about a missing connection GUID) and/or copying and pasting the elements from another package.
