As Olaf says, you need to share more information. In which context do you get this error? What is the output of "SELECT @@version"?

As soon as we know the DLLs was missing, we don’t know how many such more DLLs might be missing. Based on my search on the internet it comes from Visual Studio Shell (vc_red.msi). I asked them to install VS Shell from SQL media and meantime, copy that missing file from a working machine. As soon as file was copied, we were able to connect SQL using SQLCMD and then we start SQL server normally.
For more details , please see:
