title: How do I execute an SSIS 2008 package from .NET 4.0 Windows Service?
body: <p>I have a .NET 4.0 Windows service application (VS2010), I need to call an SSIS 2008 package.</p>
  
  <p>I know that it is easier to create a web service and call that service from SSIS, I am not at liberty to do that.</p>
  
  <p>So, I figured my next best option is to call my SSIS package from my windows service. I know in .NET 2.0 you can call the DTS package, and if i have SQL Server 2012 installed.</p>
  
  <p>But I am not able to find a solution for this specific combination. .NET 4 and SQL server 2008 SSIS.</p>
  
  <p>Or is there a way using the same combination that i can start and stop a windows service using SSIS 2008. And figure out when the windows service is finished running.</p>
