This issue happens when assembly Microsoft.SqlServer. management.sdk.sfc version 11.0.0.0 not found by visual studio 2012.(Sql server 2008) just go to http://www.microsoft.com/en- us/download/details.aspx?id= 35580 and download: ENU\x64\ SharedManagementObjects.msi for X64 OS or ENU\x86\ SharedManagementObjects.msi for X86 OS then install it and restart visual studio.
