Here is the details to the error message above.

See the end of this message for details on invoking

just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************

To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this

application or computer (machine.config) must have the

jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.

The application must also be compiled with debugging

enabled.

For example:

<configuration>

    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />

</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception

will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer

rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Hi vonryman,

From the following message, we can know the issue is caused by that the LandingPage is trying to find the assembly 'System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089', however the assembly is missing from Global Assemblies Control(GAC).

An error occurred creating the configuration section handler for userSettings/Microsoft.SqlServer.Configuration.LandingPage.Properties.Settings: Could not load file or assembly 'System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

The cause the assemly is missing may be that the .NET framework 4.0 is uninstalled. To verify this issue, we can:

Go to the GAC folder "C:\Windows\assembly"
Find the assemblies "System"
Make sure there is a "System" assembly with version 4.0.0.0

I assume the "System" assembly with version 4.0.0.0 is missing in this case.

Here are two solutions to solve the issue:

Install the Microsoft .NET framework 4.0
Modify the user.config file to refer to .NET framework 2.0. (I will attach the user.config which uses .NET framework 2.0 at the end of this post). In this case, the user.config is located in C:\Users\kachampongadmin\AppData\Local\Microsoft_Corporation\LandingPage.exe_StrongName_ryspccglaxmt4nhllj5z3thycltsvyyx\10.0.0.0

Microsoft .NET framework 4.0 can be downloaded from: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=0a391abd-25c1-4fc0-919f-b21f31ab88b7
user.config that is refered to .NET framework 2.0.:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
 <configSections>
  <sectionGroup name="userSettings" type="System.Configuration.UserSettingsGroup, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, 
PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" >
   <section name="Microsoft.SqlServer.Configuration.LandingPage.Properties.Settings" 
type="System.Configuration.ClientSettingsSection, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" 
allowExeDefinition="MachineToLocalUser" requirePermission="false" />
  </sectionGroup>
 </configSections>
 <userSettings>
  <Microsoft.SqlServer.Configuration.LandingPage.Properties.Settings>
   <setting name="WindowPlacement" serializeAs="Xml">
    <value>
     <WINDOWPLACEMENT xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

       <y>-1</y>
      </ptMinPosition>
      <ptMaxPosition>
       <x>-1</x>
       <y>-1</y>
      </ptMaxPosition>
      <rcNormalPosition>
       <left>289</left>
       <top>152</top>
       <right>1089</right>
       <bottom>752</bottom>
      </rcNormalPosition>
     </WINDOWPLACEMENT>
    </value>
   </setting>
  </Microsoft.SqlServer.Configuration.LandingPage.Properties.Settings>
 </userSettings>
</configuration>
