Getting the following error when attempting to use SSMS 2008 for
anything beyond writing basic queries. I really don't want to have to
start by formatting my machine and can't find a whole lot of help out
there about this error.

I do have VS 2008 w/ SP1, installed before running SQL 2008 Dev
edition setup for a 32-bit machine. Running on Vista Business,
patched and up to date as far as I can tell. Tried to apply CU2 to
the SQL 2008 instance, but it didn't work. Once due to an error with
something in Config.msi. Another time I couldn't quite tell what was
going on.

Any suggestions?

I was getting same error and when I tried with SSMS 2005 the error went away!
