Make sure the DTSX Is Not Broken.

If you receive an error message saying that the DTSX file is not valid, it is likely that the file is corrupt or was not properly saved. To verify that the file is not faulty, open it in a text editor such as Microsoft Word or Notepad. If the text editor cannot open the file, then the file is most likely corrupt.

  • Check for the most recent versions of the operating system and drivers. Up-to-date software and hardware not only protect your computer more effectively, but may also fix any issues with the DTS Settings Format file. Outdated drivers or applications might be to blame for a lack of access to a peripheral device needed to handle DTSX files.
  • Attempt to convert the DTSX file. If you are unable to open the DTSX file, you may be able to convert it to another format. To do this, you will need a program that can convert files from one format to another. There are many programs available that can do this, including Microsoft Excel and Adobe Acrobat. Open the program, and then click on the File menu. Select Open, and then locate the DTSX file. Once you have found the file, select it and click on the Open button. The program will convert the file to a new format.
  • Examine whether your account has administrative rights. Some files need special access rights to be opened. Use an administrative user account to see if this solves the problem. Check to see if your computer can handle Microsoft SQL Server The system may not be able to process the program that you use to open files with the DTSX file extension under heavy load. In this case, close all other applications.
