side-by-side configuration is incorrect - Windows Live Mailemessenger

I get this error msg when I try to launch the direct mail or messenger - the application failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect.  This just appeared out of the blue with no system crash or other event that can be identified.  What should I do to solve this problem.  I have already uninstalled and reinstalled Windows Live Essentials

Here is the info from the event log. Don't know if this is useful
