The file referred to in the error is the location of the module used by the developer at the time of building the application. I'm betting they have an F drive. :)
According to Symantec, the issue was resolved in IT Management Suite 7.1 SP2 MP1 and is described in IT Management Suite 7.1 SP2 MP1, Release Notes, Fixed Issues, Table 1-10, Item 12.

Its important to note that this issue exists outside of this product. It appears to be an issue with date handling that was resolved in Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86).
We have found that Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86) was not installed on a computer experiencing this issue. Of note, it did have other Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables such as 2008/2010; both x86 and x64. Documentation for Inventory Solution for Servers states Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86) is a requirement; its possible this is a requirement for the standard Inventory Solution as well.
