Alright so here's the issue which is making me want to smash my head onto my desk.
Whenever I try to launch the exe, this error comes up:
The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log for more detail.
I'm running Windows Vista 64 bit Home Edition.
Now I've been told that it's a problem with the VC update, so when I try to install THAT, this sucker comes up:
"Error 1935. An error occured during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT, type ="win32", version="8.0.50727.4053", public Key Token = "1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b", processor Architecture = "x86"'. Please refer to Help and Support for more information.
I've also noticed that before all this, months ago my Windows Update refused to work so I get something like this when I try to run another seperate Visual download:
Product: Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable -- Error 1935.An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'policy.8.0.Microsoft.VC80.ATL,type="win32-policy",version="8.0.50727.4053",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",processorArchitecture="x86"'. Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x80073712. assembly interface: IAssemblyCacheItem, function: Commit, component: {66332652-9C28-58B1-A01F-C8B3B9A1E18E
}
I've bolded the HRESULT. I ran the so called System Update Readiness Tool and it downloaded something but that did diddly squat. I've deactivated all my antivirus/firewall software and still nothing.
It's also been a problem with my iTunes and even installing the MMO Darkfall. I've had it with this damn error, and I can't afford to reinstall Vista right now. Any help?
