Answer 1

The error message is pretty much conclusive:

Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.SqlServer.BatchParser, Version=9.0.242.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

Is SMO installed correctly?

Are you running on a 64 bit system?

Have you installed the 2008 version of the SMO Components?

You can down the 64 bit version of SMO from here: Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Feature Pack, October 2008
