No dirty stuff in the Lounge, if you don't mind...
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

It seems you can't run dtsx packages AT ALL on sql server express. I guess I'm going to have to resort to writing an app that uses MEF to load a specified DLL that I have to then write...

SSIS, yuck. I've been doing nearly exclusively that for about five years now.
I have come to the conclusion that using an ETL package to do a whole friggin' lot of E and L but hardly any T is just not a wise course of action.
Writing some simple code to do just E and L based on some list of sources and destinations is the smarter choice. But there's no way to convince PHBs of that; to them it's like your claiming to be smarter than Microsoft.
And now someone has convinced the boss that Ab Initio is better at T than SSIS is, so he wants to switch to that -- But we don't do any T!

I don't mind doing SSIS stuff (especially when my only other dev opportunity is qlikview). The bane of my existence is that even though I was forced to get a MCSA cert for this job, I don't have a lot of the permissions I need to actually do what my job requires. It's a f*ckin clusterf*ck here as far as DB support goes.
I'm working on a SQL Agent project (for an article) for SQL Server Express. I've got the scheduling stuff done, and step execution (as long as it's a just SQL query), and even job history stuff appears to be working. I tried to implement the "run a dtsx package" step type, only to find out it won't work, so I have to roll my own, such as it is. Unfortunately, it requires the programmer to write c# code to do anything like importing an Excel file, and stuff like that. In order to provide a complete solution, I may have to come up with an excel importer library that makes using the office interop crap more digestible.
The fun never stops.
