When trying to open SQL Server Management Studio i receive the error "Package 'Microsoft SQL Management Studio Package' failed to load"

When I try to open Microsoft SQL Management Studio I receive the above error.  This has just happened recently but i'm not sure what caused it.

I'm not sure if this is causing it but when I look at the services I notice that the SQL Server Integration Services is stopped.  When I try to start this I see it fails and generates the following error in the application log:

Source: .NET Runtime 2.0 Error
Event:    5000

Can anyone advise me how to resolve this problem please ?

Many thanks in advance

There is not much information here to go on however you can try to repair the .NET 2.0 runtime; before trying check the event log (Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Event Viewer) and see if there is a more detailed error as to why the application failed to load.

Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.

To obtain the Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0 Redistributable Package (x86), visit the following Microsoft Web site:

Hi DaTribe and thanks for your help.

When I try and open up SQL Management studio the only error that is generated is the error above and this is the description that is in it:

EventType clr20r3, P1 msdtssrvr.exe, P2 9.0.242.0, P3 443f5b12, P4 mscorlib, P5 2.0.0.0, P6 471ebc5b, P7 1b08, P8 10, P9 system.security.security, P10 NIL.

I noticed that on Monday an update for .NET Framework SP1 failed to install and wonder if that may be related.

If I installed .NET Framework v3.0 would this help ?

Many thanks in advance
