Hi,

My app is built with VS2008. It accesses sqlexpress 2005 database.
Sqlexpress depends on VC2005. After ~ 1.5 years of running the slqexpress
suddenly stopped starting up. It happened after the last reboot of the
production server.

I'm getting errors in the event log related to SxS vc2005 ATL and CRT.
Example: "Dependent Assembly Microsoft.vc80.ATL could not be found and
Last Error was The referenced assembly is not installed on your system.".
I re-installed vc2005 redist but it did not help. I could see
corresponding folders for CRT and ATL in Windows\SxS folder. The folders
seemed to contain correct DLLs. Repairing sql server did not help - it
assumed that everything is correctly installed.

Create a log with SxSTrace.exe and see what exact problem it is. As Scot
mentioned, the ATL, CRT, and MFC DLL's were recently updated. The version
numbers to look for are:

Old version (hadn't been updated for several years): 8.0.50727.762
New version (updated early August, 2009): 8.0.50727.4053
