In addition to what James did you need to find and replace all instances of Version=10.0.0.0 with Version=9.0.242.0 for sql tasks, SSIS.PipeLine.2 with DTS.Pipeline.1 for dataflow tasks, componentClassID="{2C0A8BE5-1EDC-4353-A0EF-B778599C65A0} with componentClassID="{2C0A8BE5-1EDC-4353-A0EF-B778599C65A0} for OLE DB Source tasks, componentClassID="{5A0B62E8-D91D-49F5-94A5-7BE58DE508F0}" with componentClassID="{E2568105-9550-4F71-A638-B7FE42E66922}" for OLE DB Destinations, componentClassID="{BD06A22E-BC69-4AF7-A69B-C44C2EF684BB}" with componentClassID="{C3BF62C8-7C5C-4F85-83C3-E0B6F6BE267C}" for data conversion tasks and componentClassID="{70909A92-ECE9-486D-B17E-30EDE908849E}" with componentClassID="{7C0CACA3-B152-40B1-8379-E37AE8E1DD5A}" for slowly changing dimesion task. I did not manage to get lookup tasks to work

Hopes this helps someone, at least it is a reference to me for next time :-)
