Debugging SSIS Script task – Breakpoint is enabled but it does not hit

After more research and trial-error, found that the SSIS package ignores the breakpoints in a Script Task when debugging on a 64-bit machine. To fix it –

  1. Go to the Solution Explorer
  2. Right click your SSIS project node > Properties
  3. In Configuration Properties > Debugging > Debug Options > Set Run64BitRunTime to False.

SSIS Project configuration settings

After making this change, the breakpoints hit like magic.
