framework 1.1 update + ssmse: get warning!?

Hello, friends,
here is my problem:
I installed sql server express on a naked Windows xp pro with SP2; of course, framework 2.0 installed, and MS-installer 3.1 installed as well. I also installed ssmse. Everything worked fine.
Then I installed all windows updates via Windows Update in internet.
Now suddenly, when starting ssmse, I get a Warning Textbox with Header "Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express", then the yellow triangle with the exklamation mark, but NO TEXT AT ALL, and the OK-button. So unfortunately, I do not know what to do. Only thing I found out was, that in all updates, the culprit surely is framework 1.1 update. Before installing this, everything worked fine, afterwards, well, see above.
When I click the ok-button, everything works fine, I can log in into sql server express and do what I have to do.
So my only solution at the moment is just to ignore the warning - not the best way.
Couldn't find a better solution until now.
Could anybody help?

Have you tried to reinstall / repair the management tools again. This would not take long and should re connect any links or references that were lost.

Hello, Glenn,
thanks a lot for your answer.
Unfortunately, I tried that several times, also with a brand new installed windows xp pro sp2.
But, must tell you, I DID find a solution:
I downloaded the sqlexpr_toolkit_ger.exe, installed it, and now this strange message has disappeared, and ssmse is working without any problems...
I think, there might be any file destroyed by updating framework 1.1 which is reinstalled by the toolkit!?
Doesn't matter, it works.

Kind regards from
Axolotl
