Re: SQL Server Management Studio - mscorlib.tlb could not be loaded

[Anthony Thomas]

This smacks of two possible issues: first, there was some mention of
UNICODE issues regarding .NET Framework. I'll look for that information.
The second is the possible removal of the Version 2 .NET library. It's the
odd characters between the Framework and mscorlib.tlb that is drawing me to
these conclusions.

In either case, a download and reinstallation of the Version 2 .NET library
should fix this condition.

Sincerely,

Anthony Thomas

For what it's worth, I get the identical message when starting SQL
Server 2005. I had been using .Net 2.0 exclusively but needed 1.1 to run
another program. Right after installing the 1.1 Framework (but not the
SDK) the message appeared. Haven't figured out how to fix it yet. This
doesn't address your question, but may help identify the cause.

Apparently the .Net Framework 2.0 repair does the trick. I ran into the same
issue when someone installed VS 2003 on my SQL Server 2005 development box.
Once rebooting, the errors went away.

It seems like the system variable %CLRVERSION% goes bad when .Net 1.1 was
installed (?).
