Error: The application has failed to start because the side by side configuration is incorrect
When I tries to run Glary Utilities 5.46, the following error message appears. 'The application has failed to start because the side by side configuration is incorrect please see the application event log or use the command line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail'
I had posted a question in Microsoft Community and did what the support engineer said, including repairing corrupted files with RestoreHealth and re-installation in compatible mode, but the side by side configuration error still appears. What else can I do?
The following have already been installed. http://fud.community.services.support.microsoft.com/Fud/FileDownloadHandler.ashx?fid=e012ca9a-6548-47ad-a7e9-a0777b03746e
Solution 1:
This happens when a required Visual C++ Runtime is missing. Start the Command prompt with admin rights and run this command:
SxsTrace Trace -logfile:SxsTrace.etl
Now run Glary Utilities and go back to the command prompt press ENTER
to generate the SxsTrace.etl
. Now type this:
sxstrace Parse -logfile:SxSTrace.etl -outfile:SxSTrace.txt
Now open the SxSTrace.txt
trace and look which VC++ runtime is missing.
