Have you actually looked at the eventlog? (eventvwr.exe)

BestFit.dll assembly is needed to solve this in your case.Make sure it is present and referenced to your project

I have tried both solution but still an error
I have viewed in Event viewer this shows like "Activation context generation failed for "C:\Program Files\Default Company Name\VMS setup\BestFit.dll". Dependent Assembly Microsoft.VC90.DebugCRT,processorArchitecture="x86",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",type="win32",version="9.0.21022.8" could not be found. Please use sxstrace.exe for detailed diagnosis."

Accepted answer suggest to install or reinstall VC++ 2008, in your case try doing it for VC++ 2010 cause the fellow was getting error for VC80 and you are getting it for VC90 :)
Let me know if you still face any issue..
