• Vista Home Premium 64-bit: Side-by-side configuration incorrect, C++ Redistributable is not installed, programs will not install, Windows Update will not work.

  Greetings!  Please read this and thank you in advance for your help.

  A few months ago, I started to receive Windows Update errors, indicating that my Windows platform could not update itself.  Soon after, I started getting errors about C++ Redistributable does not install correctly.  It wasn't a huge problem for a while, and I managed to work around it.  However, my antivirus program is dead, and I'm unable to install a new.  When I try to install programs now, I get the error "side-by-side configuration is incorrect."  I would like to delete the manifest and try to reinstall the application, but I don't know where they are.  At least, it would be a start.  In any case, I am currently without virus protection.  Help!

  So far, I tried to uninstall the Windows updates, but I only managed to install the MS Office updates.  I have even office, although I understand that it is built into the operating system of our days.  I tried many different patches of a lot of different forums and nothing seems to work.  I would like to reinstall the OS, but I bought OEM (from Newegg) and do not have the disc.  I don't even have an easy backup, or even one that I know is 'good'.

  Thanks again for your time and effort.  They are appreciated more than you can imagine.

  Why you didn't say what you did before?

  Borrow a Vista DVD and don't reinstall Option I gave you.

  Or borrow a disc and do a repair installation; It's your call.

  Ideas:

  Don't you worry in this regard at the moment, the servers could be a little overwhelmed. It will download when the servers are not so busy.

  There are quite a few updates coming through this month and a lot of people to distribute updates.

  I am running Windows 7 and noticed that Windows updates did not work. The parameters are defined for the update every day. When I went to update manually returned an error WindowsUpdate_80070017.  MSFT site was no help. Any recommendations?

  Since neither updates Jan - 10 have installed, I'm going to hand you Support MS in the hope that they can resolve the problem. See below.

  That being said, is an interpretation of the 80070017 - cyclic redundancy check error "a device attached to the system does not work," which suggests that a hardware problem might be the cause of the error (although I must say that it is a very low possibility in this case).

  Good luck!
