Is there a SQL Server 2012 Data-tier Application template for VS 2010? The version of the template I am using will only allow SQL Server 2008R2.

If I open the Management Console in SQL Server 2012 and extract a DAC package, that works and the package is created. However, VS will not allow me to import the pakcage, it gives the following error: "The file you have specified is not a valid Data-tier Application file. Specify a valid file."

  • Tried the suggestion in your link, it opens VS, but the only template available is for 2008 R2 only. – Maess Apr 27 '12 at 14:03

The data-tier application framework is part of the Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Feature Pack.

It's also available as a standalone download from that page. Scroll down to Microsoft® SQL Server® 2012 Data-Tier Application Framework.
