    Side By Side Configuration Incorrect


    I've been running win 7 x64 for a few months now. Everything has worked fine and now whenever i try running any programs i get an Sxs error. I tried 'sfc /scannow' but nothing has shown up. Then i tried installing a VC++ redist package, but I can't even run the exe file at all. Here's is a event log from one of the errors.

    Level Date and Time Source Event ID Task Category

    I am assuming that this is happening on more than this one app. If so you need to do what it says in the event. That is: Please use sxstrace.exe for detailed diagnosis."

    So type cmd in search>type sxstrace.exe and take a screenshot of the out put and upload it here
