DTExec error: Unable to load the package as XML because of package does not have a valid XML format

Today I had some trouble to get a DTSX package up & running. On the command line I tried to execute the following command:

DTEXEC /FILE "S:\Data Files\dtsx\Package.dtsx" /REPORTING EW /CONFIGFILE "S:\Data Files\dtsx\importjob.dtsConfig"

But no luck, instead of a running DTSX package, I got a very explaining (*ahum*) error message:

143910:T:M584D4:tsk> Error: 2015-03-12 14:39:10.83

Now the error message is somewhat misleading. It had nothing to do with an invalid XML package or something but instead we were using an incorrect filename. My DTSX package was called ImportJob.dtsx and not Package.dtsx…

So after updating the filename, the DTSX was running happily ever after…

DTEXEC /FILE "S:\Data Files\dtsx\importjob.dtsx" /REPORTING EW /CONFIGFILE "S:\Data Files\dtsx\importjob.dtsConfig"

Help! I accidently enabled HSTS–on localhost

I ran into an issue after accidently enabling HSTS for a website on localhost. This was not an issue for the original website that was running in IIS and had a certificate configured. But when I tried to run an Angular app a little bit later on http://localhost:4200 the browser redirected me immediately to https://localhost . Whoops! That was not what I wanted in this case. To fix it, you need to go the network settings of your browser, there are available at: chrome://net-internals/#hsts edge://net-internals/#hsts brave://net-internals/#hsts Enter ‘localhost’ in the domain textbox under the Delete domain security policies section and hit Delete . That should do the trick…
