You need to install following package to solve the problem , I have solved this problem twice with this package hope it may work for everyone too...

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Management Objects Collection The Management Objects Collection package includes several key elements of the SQL Server 2005 management API, including Analysis Management Objects (AMO), Replication Management Objects (RMO), and SQL Server Management Objects (SMO). Developers and DBAs can use these components to programmatically manage SQL Server 2005.

You can get from Feature Pack for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - December 2008 from Microsoft site [http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=11988][1] But the link location of download page changes every-time if you don't find resource you can download it from my blog too.

I have also provided some tips and resources about this in my blog if you want http://rndp-android.blogspot.com/p/missing-microsoftsqlservermanagementsdk.html
