I have an SSIS package which reads an Excel File (Data Flow Source) and transfer the data to SQL Server using OLEDB Destination Data Flow Item. The OLEDB Connection Manager used for the destination is configured to use Windows Authentication. The package works fine on my development machine. But when I open the same package on another machine and try to execute it gives the following error in Validation phase

Error: 0xC020801C at DFT_NSOffers, Source - 'Subscription Offers$' 1 [347]: The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "ExcelConnection_NSOffers" failed with error code 0xC0202009. Error: 0xC0047017 at DFT_NSOffers, DTS.Pipeline: component "Source - 'Subscription Offers$' 1" (347) failed validation and returned error code 0xC020801C. Error: 0xC004700C at DFT_NSOffers, DTS.Pipeline: One or more component failed validation. Error: 0xC0024107 at DFT_NSOffers: There were errors during task validation

I'm using SQL Server 2005 (Version - 9.0.1399)

How do I fix this? Do I need to install any other component or service pack?

I don't think it's 64/32 bit error. My Dev machine and DB server are 32bit. But I could make it work. I had to set Delay Validation property of Data Flow tasks to TRUE.
