SISS: Running 32bit dtexec from Stored Procedure

Hi Experts,

We've just upgraded to SQL Server 2008 and have found that our SSIS packages that import Excel spreadsheets don't work due to the 64bit/32bit issue. I understand I have to run the 32bit version of dtexec to get it to work again, but I can't find how to actually do it.

I have a code snippit from a SP that will show you how I'm currently calling dtexec and the SSIS package.

EXEC sp_xp_cmdshell_proxy_account 'IIS\xxx', 'password'
EXEC @pc= master..xp_cmdshell  'dtexec /f "F:\SSIS\package1.dtsx"'

Open in new window

Any help will be, as always, greatly appreciated.

Regs,
Numb

Hi x-men,

I tried that with :

'c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\DTS\Binn\dtexec /f "F:\SSIS\package1.dtsx"'

Open in new window

but get the following error when run:

'c:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
NULL

I know I'm doing something dumb somewhere!

For some reason the SP disnt like the spaces between folder names. Putting "" around them seems to have fixed that...

'c:\"Program Files (x86)"\"Microsoft SQL Server"\100\DTS\Binn\dtexec /f "F:\SSIS\ProductCore8.dtsx"'
