Installing language software, sidebyside error or D:/ not a vald win32
So I was installing a language software today and I managed to get it loaded, however I had to restart my computer to an earier date for other reasons so I had to re-install the language software. Upon re-installing the language software I recieved a message stating "The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail."
However, when I try to open the sxstrace a little black screen flashes on my computer for a split second and then disappears but won't bring it up :-/.
I vied my event logs and I see two different errors for the side by side. The first is event ID 33 and says activation context generation failed for C:/windows/installer/{67E03279-F703-408F-B4BF-46B5FC8D70CD}/WksWP.exe" Dependent Assembly msadctls,processorArchitecture='x86", type="Win32", version="1.0.1801.0" could not be found. Please use sxstrace.exe for detailed diagnosis.
the second one is event id 59 and says activation context generation failed for "D:/setup.exe" error in manifest or policy file "D:/setup.exe" on line 0. Invalid Xml syntax.
Ive tried a few things to fix it already but to no avail....if anyone could please help me fix this I would greatly appreciate it!
