wrong "side by side" configuration
Hello. Recently, when I try to start an application, I receive an error, that I would translate from french something alike (in this case for Opera broswer, but everything else bugs):
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera\opera.exe
The application couldn't start because it's side by side configuration is wrong. For more informations, please see the application event's log or use the comand line tool sxstrace.exe"
French verion (if a French speaking translator is around, please correct my translation):
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera\opera.exe
L'application n'a pas pu démarrer car sa configutation côte à côte est incorrecte. Pour plus d'information, consultez le journal d'évènements d'applications ou utilisez l'outil en ligne de commande sxstrace.exe."
I tried to use sxstrace.exe with cmd, but it tried to explain me how to use it, and I didn't go further. I saw other forums about, but their problems seemed different: it happened after the installation of a game and only this game didn't worked, but as far as I'm concerned, all non windows applications fails at start, like Firefox or Antivira, and even Windows media Player or MSN. That's strange. On those forums, they also said that you should re-install microsoft's visual C++ 2005 (or for me 2010, I'm running seven 64 bits). I downloaded them (visual 2010 x86 and x64) with IE7 and tried to launch the setup, but I had the same error. So I get nowhere since a few days in spite of my tries. I even tried to launch a backup to a previous windows state ("backup tool") but it falled cause my backup seemed to have problems. So I'm very embarassed, I can't use my computer.
Please help me :)
Thank you in advance and sorry for my poor English skills.
