I think I was using visual studio 2017 and wrote a SSIS package. Now I installed visual studio 2019 and can't open the solution file. Error:

Unsupported This version of Visual Studio is unable to open the following projects. The project types may not be installed or this version of Visual Studio may not support them. For more information on enabling these project types or otherwise migrating your assets, please see the details in the "Migration Report" displayed after clicking OK. - ABC, "C:\Users\XYZ\ABC.dtproj"

Non-functional changes required Visual Studio will automatically make non-functional changes to the following projects in order to enable them to open in Visual Studio 2015, Visual Studio 2013, Visual Studio 2012, and Visual Studio 2010 SP1. Project behavior will not be impacted. - ABC_SSIS, "C:\Users\XYZ\ABC_SSIS.sln"

I tried "Right-click on the project and reload" - didn't work.

I tried to confirm SSDT is installed: it is installed at the installation interface, but doesn't exist in extension manager: installed SSDT

no SSDT in extension manager

I have had similar issues with other type of project. It turned out our endpoint security software prevented installation of some components. Have you ruled that out? For me the projects that worked in VS 2017 stopped loading in 2019 just like what you are seeing. - Ppp

SSIS is a seperate extension now in Visual Studio 2019. You can install that extension in Visual Studio market place. Choose Online tab and search for "SQL Server Integration Services Projects".Hope it can help your problem

Today I faced this issue,

Cause

The reason for issue is, I saw a yellow bg notification at the top of IDE showing performance issue screenshot included, with option to "disable this" to improve the performance. I chose disable, later next day when I opened the project, It showed the project is not compatible. I did Repair SSIS, Uninstall and Reinstall SSIS, and also updated the SSIS to latest version. None of these 3 ways resolved the issue.

Solution

But, I found Manage Extension submenu item under Extension menu, Under installed tab, SSIS extension was in disabled status. I reverted to Enabled status. Sample screenshot of the same for reference is here. If it disabled, simply enable it. Then restart VS with SSIS project. enter image description here
