I have a DTSX file in a project I'm taking over. I have Visual Studio 2005 Pro, but it just opens it as an XML file. SQL Server Management Studio 2005 does the same.
I've seen people opening these files in some workflow-esque format; Business Intelligence Development Studio comes to mind.
Is this part of Visual Studio or SQL? Does it have to be purchased seperately? Can I open this file in a more useful way with the tools I have?

1 Open SQL Server Management Studio, and select the Server on which the SSIS package you want to edit is stored. 2 Expand the Data Transformation Services folder, so that you can see the SSIS packages. 3 Double-click the SSIS package you want to edit. 4 Double-click the line connecting Connection 1 and Connection 2.
In Solution Explorer, right-click the SSIS Packages node, and then click Upgrade All Packages to upgrade all the packages under this node.
Click the browse button (...), select the package to import, and then click Open. To import from the SSIS Package Store, select the SSIS Package Store option and specify the server. Click the browse button (...), select the package to import, and then click OK.
In Visual Studio, click New > Project on the File menu. In the Installed Templates area of the New Project window, expand Business Intelligence, and click Integration Services. Select Integration Services Import Project Wizard from the project types list.
From Business Intelligence Studio:
File->New Project->Integration Services Project
Now in solution explorer there is a SSIS Packages folder, right click it and select "Add Existing Package", and there will be a drop down that can be changed to File System, and the very bottom box allows you to browse to the file. Note that this will copy the file from where ever it is into the project's directory structure.
