Product Level is Insufficient

I am receiving the following error when I try to execute an SSIS package that is saved to a structured file. I am using DTExec to execute the package.

Description: The task "Initialize Variables" cannot run on this edition of Integration Services. It requires a higher level edition.

After some research, I was able to find a supporting article in SQL Server 2005 BOL at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa337371.aspx

The issue was resolved by installing the Enterprise Edition of SQL Server Integration Services (Windows Service) on the local server (server where the package is saved and executed from). However, this goes against my original anticipation that the SSIS Windows Service would only need to be installed on a machine where I needed to store packages and/or monitor package execution. Not if I wanted to execute packages.

Unfortunately, my package is using advanced options (as identified in the BOL article previously referenced).

Am I missing something?

You are trying to execute these packages from a remote machine (such as your desktop and not the SQL Server), correct? You need to have a matching edition of the SSIS client tools loaded on your desktop to be able to run those packages remotely.|||You do need the SSIS installed where the packages runs.
It does not matter where the package is stored.
