    SQL Server 2008 error message

    Hello!
    I am running SQL Server 2008 R2. When I attempt to open up SQL server management studio today I am presented with the following error message:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn\Vsshell\Common7\IDE\Ssms.exe
    The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect

    What do I need to resolve this error ?

    Regards
