Case 02.0: SQL2005 Express – mscorlib.tlb could not be load.
Q:
When you install Microsoft SQL Server 2005, you receive the following error message:
The file C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\Meaningless_string\mscorlib.tlb could not be loaded. An attempt to repair this condition failed because the file could not be found. Please reinstall this program.
Note Meaningless_string is a placeholder for the meaningless characters that appear in the error message. These characters resemble the version number of the Microsoft .NET Framework, such as v1.0.3705, v1.1.4870, or v2.0.50727.
After you install SQL Server 2005, you may receive an error message that resembles this error message every time that you start Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio.
Warning Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require that you reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk.

| 3. | In the right pane, double-click the registry entry TlbPath. The Edit String dialog box appears. | ||||
| 4. | In the Value data box, replace %CLRVERSION% with the following value: v2.0.50727 Note The value v2.0.50727 indicates the version of the .NET Framework that the original release version of SQL Server 2005 uses. | ||||
| 5. | Click OK, and then exit Registry Editor. |
