I had similiar problem with XP fat installation. It was not the file but rather missing registry key.

HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-20\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\AppData was missing, what I did is create Appdata key and copy existing Local AppData string into it. It worked like a charm. Thank you procmon :)

You can use the below registry update to fix the issue. I faced the same problem and after applying this registry able to open SSMS.

I am lookging at the Management console's Help/About and we are on SP2 but still received this error and our cleint did not do and upgrade eval this was a full blown install. BUt I am verifying that the customer did not eval it then registered it. But the Version is @ SP2.

Same steps. Make sure the path of data drive is not getting changed.
