Anyone please help. I have a deadline and I am unable to connect to any Microsoft SQL Server on my development box. Not sure what happened but all of a sudden when I attempt to connect to any Microsoft SQL Server, I get the following error:
Could not load file or assembly
‘System.Transactions, Version=2.0.0.0,
Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089’ or
one of its dependencies. The module
was expected to contain an assembly
manifest. (System.Data)
Anyone PLEASE help! I am running Windows 7 x64 with Visual Studio 2008/2010, SQL Server Express 2008 R2
This can be caused by different kinds of issues.
You probably have classes that reference this assembly but you didn’t add a reference to your project.
Or it can be more complicated as an example here.
Try running
gacutil -I "C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\System.Transactions.dll"
