Hi all,
in my new pc, I've installed SQL Server 2012 RC0 first, and then Visual Studio 11 Developer Preview (both in English language), but now SQL Server does not works anymore, and this error message pop up.
---------------------------
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
---------------------------
Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
Now how can I solve this situation?
Thanks in advance.

Don't install the two on the same computer/server. This is a very well known issue when two products sharing code base are developed. The two products are expected to work when the final products are released, but I would not expect them to during development.

Ah ok, so I have to re-format everything.
Thanks a lot.

Hi there, try this
"This happens after installing SQL Server 2012 (Code named "Denali CTP3") or later, running SSMS successfully, then (later) install VS11 Dev Preview, and then run SSMS.
Dev11 Preview improperly recognize SQL Server Denali SSMS as a version 11 application and it updates the current user’s setting in SSMS registry key during the setup. This issue occurs only when Dev11 Preview is installed after the installation of SSMS.
SQL Server 2012 SSMS has a built-in security and resiliency feature for any corrupted configuration in HKCU registry key. The corrupted registry keys can be simply deleted then SSMS automatically reconstructs it with correct values during the next startup procedure.
• Start regedit.exe
• Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\SQL Server Management Studio
• Delete 11.0_Config
• Restart ssms.exe
"
Hope it helps
