No program will run/launch. Error "the application failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect."
Hey guys,.
So the title pretty much says it all. When I connect to Windows Explorer of my profile does not even start. I have to manually start explorer.exe. I looked through my files and they are still intact, but for some reason when Windows is supposed to be the start nothing runs, making it so that I can't run any of my programs. Someone has encountered this problem before?
Hi Mark,
Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.
This occurs on computers that are not Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 installed.
Install the latest Windows service pack and all the Windows updates available and check if it has already solved the problem.
If this does not help, turn off User Account Control (UAC) Windows.
Open user account control settings by clicking the Start button 
, and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type uac, and then click change user account control settings.
To turn off UAC, move the slider to never notify it the position, and then click OK. 
If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation. You need to restart your computer for UAC to fade.
You can also check: What are user account control settings?
Now download and install one of the following options, depending on which architecture you are running:
- 32 bit - Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x 86)
- 64 bit - Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x 64)
Note: Make sure that you install only the 2008 version of the Redistributable Package SP1 since later versions.
Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

Hello
You did changes to the computer before the show?
Method 1: I suggest that you run the SFC scan and check if this solves the problem for you:
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833
The sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.
Method 2: Perform a disk check, follow the steps below:
1. open the computer by clicking the Start button, click computer.
2. click on the drive you want to check, and then click Properties.
3. click on the Tools tab and then, under check for errors, click Find now. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
To automatically repair problems with files and folders that detects the scanning, select automatically fix file system errors. Otherwise, the disk check will be a problem, but not to fix them.
To perform a thorough check, select search and attempt to recover bad sectors. This analysis tries to find and repair physical errors on the disk itself, and it may take much longer to complete.
To check for errors file and the physical errors, select both automatically fix errors in file system and search for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.
Method 3: Update of the .net Framework.
