If you cannot boot you will have to do a repair install of the OS.

This is a node of windows cluster.will Copying of the missing file manually from good server works !
if no could you assist how to repair it without effecting any other installed applications

You could certainly try copying the file, it may have just been damaged.

You could also use the Recovery Console to expand the file from the installation media.
