    Side by side Configuration


    Hello,
    Whenever I attempt to run files such as
    MSCONFIG.exe
    RSTRUI.EXE (system restore)

    I get a

    C:\Windows\system32\returi.exe

    The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail.

    they are both in the system32 folder, maybe something regarding pathways or something. I have no idea.

    Ive been digging for a bit, attempted to reinstall Microsoft Visual C++ but did not work.

    I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate (x64)

    No; you have to run the wizard from Windows. Boot into Windows, insert the DVD, and run setup.exe when prompted.
