Why do all packages in the project open when running one in debug mode?

Does anyone know why this happens When I run one of the packages in my project (by hitting the play button in the designer), all of the other packages in that project open before it starts running

Thank you.

    Ahhh ... that's true, I fogot to turn it off. Thank you.

    Is this also true for all packages in all projects of a solution

    I have multiple projects for a SSIS solution, and when I debug one of the packages in one of the projects, all the packages in all of the projects open.

    I would figure that having the 'Create Deployment Utility' option set would only cause just the packages for the project which is being built to open, (as that is all that the deployment utility will deploy). Why does it open all the packages in all the projects

    It is becomming a headache as the number of packages and projects grows quite high.

    Thank you for any input,

    To add more info ... this didn't happen before I copied the project files to a different computer and changed the security settings to "don't save sensitive", modifed the packages, then changed back to "encrypt with user key".

    But even after I did that, the original issue above didn't start happening right away. That indicates to me this is not the cause.

    Any ideas

    The deployment utility is created when the project is built.

    You can change what projects in the solution are built before starting the package by opening solution properties, then in Configuration Properties > Configuration uncheck the boxes in Build column.

    The cause is 'create deployment utility' option - if it is on, SSIS 2005 opens all packages when building the project.
