Please help me...sql management studio 2008

Have installed SQL 2008 db engine and client tools. Each time I attempt to return a resultset, I receive the following error:

An error occurred while executing batch. Error message is: Method not found: 'Void Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.Grid.ColumnInfo.set_ServerVersion(Int32)'.

This error occurs on any data access, such as:

select * from sys.columns

Does anyone know what might be going on?

Can you give more details on the machine you installed Katmai on. Was a a fresh install of Windows, or have you had other SQL Server components or still have? -- Erland Sommarskog, SQL Server MVP, esquel@sommarskog.se Books Online for SQL Server 2005 at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/2005/downloads/books.mspx Books Online for SQL Server 2000 at http://www.microsoft.com/sql/prodinfo/previousversions/books.mspx

It was on an XP Pro laptop, which I had previously installed SQL 2005 developer edition. I had attempted to install 2008 alongside the 2005 install, but the client tools for 2005 wouldn't allow me to connect to 2008. So, I uninstalled everything related to 2005 and installed the 2008 again. I can connect to the engine fine now, but get errors when result sets are returned in the client tools.

This is actively being discussed on another thread (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1992613&SiteID=1), Therefore, I'm going to mark this one answered so it's closed out.

Cheers,
