Installed SSDT 14.6 it has no VB.net option for scripting language

Question

I just had to reimage and reinstall all the software on my development computer. I installed SQL Server 2016 and Visual Studios 2015. I am converting a bunch of packages from SSIS 2008 to 2015. The scripting components are in VB but the only option Under scripting Languages is C# 2015. I must have installed something wrong because. I have packages I created before my computer when down that were in VB. I really need to get VB as a scripting language back. Can anyone help me? 

Answer 1

You are on a wrong track; the script properties shows the current setting, here you can not edit it. C# is the default language for new script task, that why it shows C#.

Do a right-mouse click on the task => Edit, here you can change the language for the scrip task, as long as you haven't already edit the script.

Olaf Helper , I searched around for a solution and none has answered this as clearly as you. As you can tell I don't use this every day. I don't know how I missed the Language selection in the Edit window. Thank you
