Im unable to start my SQL 2008 server thats installed on a Windows 2008 server, i get a fail to start due to side by side error like below-
error in event log
Activation context generation failed for "C:\Windows\system32\DTSPipelinePerf100.dll".Error in manifest or policy file "C:\Windows\WinSxS\manifests\amd64_policy.8.0.microsoft.vc80.atl_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.1833_none_0630888ffd184961.manifest" on line 0. Invalid Xml syntax
