Installed IE 8 - Now Management Studio Gives Error

  • Hi everyone,

    I installed Internet Explorer 8 on my XP Pro SP3 desktop.

    Now, when I try to open 2008 R2 Management Studio ... I get:

    "An unhandled exception has occurred in a component...Could not load file or assembly 'Accessibility Version 2.0' or one of its dependencies.... cannot find the file."

    My Management Studio version is 2008 R2 SP1

    I read elsewhere that someone suggested installing SP2.

    (It also broke my 2005 Management Studio, which is SP3)

    Any advice?

    Thanks, John

  • The only thing that comes to mind is to make sure you have all of the .NET updates installed.

  • Thanks, SQLKnowItAll,

    Actually, XP wants to install this Security Update for .Net 2.0 SP2

    KB2686828 but it fails during the update.

    I'm thinking this may be causing Mgmt Studio to not work.

    What can I do?

  • Hmm... Not really sure. That sounds like an MS issue.

  • Thanks for your suggestions, Jared.

    I solved it. We use Kaspersky Anti-virus software.

    I uninstalled Kaspersky on my desktop. Then the Security Update for .Net 2.0 SP2 installed successfully. And my SQL Server Management Studio works again.

    I wanted to give everyone an update.

    Consider this post closed.

    Thanks, John
