SSMS Returning Error that a file (mscorlib.tlb) can not be loaded

  • This just started today (at least did not notice it till today). When we Remote Connect to one of our SQL 2005 boxes and load SSMS 2005 we get the error that the below can not be found:

    C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\\mscorlib.tlb

    What I fiind interesting is the double '\' characters which kid of imply that a directory is missing within the above path. And if between those 2 slashes I could insert the text 'v2.0.50727' then SSMS would see that file because it is located within v2.0.50727.

    It's almost like as if something (where you'd store paths used by an appp) were now incorrectly set; who knows.

    Any thoughts?

    Kindest Regards,

  • Check for this path under registry and then see modifying it can help if its specified there without version in between.

    Do it at your own risk. Registry change might be involved so tk backup for sure.
