Question : Error opening DTS Package in SQL 2008 SSMS

I have a SQL 2008 Standard Edition SP1 SQL server running on Windows XP. I have installed both the SQL 2005 Backwards Compatibility pack (SQLServer2005_BC.msi) and the SQL Server 2005 DTS Designer Components (SQLServer2005_DTS.msi). When I try to open a SQL Server 2000 DTS package that has been saved to the SQL 2008 SQL Server, I receive The following errors: Package Error: The DTS Host failed to load or save the package properly. The selected package cannot be opened. The DTS designer has been closed SQL Server 2000 DTS Designer componets are required to edit DTS Packages. Install the special Web download," SQL Server 2000 DTS Designer Components" to use this feature. (Microsoft.SqlServer.DtsObjectExplorerUI).
The package opens, but my source and target icons are not present.

Any thoughts or comments?

If this not helped you , this article said more about how to design dts packages in 2008:
