SSIS package deployment, in my opinion is a right royal pain in Aris (I'm sure there's some kind of Wiki out there for cockney rhyming slang, there certainly is for Blackadder quotes).
This became evident whilst trying to successfully deploy password protected packages to folder locations on SSIS servers. So again I came up with a plan to make my life a little more bearable. A plan as as cunning as a fox that used to be professor of cunning at Oxford University, but has moved on, and is now working for the UN at the high commission of international cunning planning..!
All my SSIS projects, of significant size, now include a package called sys_DeployPackages. This does something very simple. deploys packages. A couple of variables such as the source folder and the destination, the password I want to use to encrypt the packages, the location folder on the SSIS server and hey presto. Put the variables into a config file and then you can deploy the same files to another server with just a double click.
All this with just the joining of the Execute Process task and dtutil.exe. a combination so cunning you could brush your teeth with it.
