SQL Profiler throws an error : Could not load file or assembly 'System.Data, Version = 2.0.0.0?

Question

I installed a third-party SQL Server 2008 R2 toolset a few days ago and then uninstalled it yesterday. But now when I run SQL Profiler from SSMS, I get an error that says: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Data, Version = 2.0.0.0. I re-installed the System.Data for 64-bit and 32-bit versions using gacutil and it did get installed, however, I still see an error when I try to start SQL Profiler from SSMS. Any ideas on how I could fix this other than re-installing SQL Server 2008 R2?

So, as we have cleared out the best way is to try to localize the problem on another machine and provide Apex with clear instructions how to reproduce it (if bug is caused really by Apex tool). Any good vendor will be thankful for bug, located and reported by user, so they should provide support how to repair your installation. good luck !
