Side-by-Side Error 59

2 Days ago when I  started Microsoft word I received a Side-by-Side error. I restarted my computer thinking it was a glitch and the same thing happened. Now, 99.9% of my programs all get the same error when I try to open them. I looked on the Internet using my I-phone and it said to download and install a certain update. The problem is my Internet doesn't work also due to the same error affecting it and also my comp wont install the updates already in my Q because windows installer is also affected by the Side-by-Side error. So, with that being said, is there any way to over come this with out reinstalling Vista and losing everything? The funny thing is, that the actual update I need to fix this issue IAW the forums is sitting in my Q from last week (automatic download) The automatic update feature never got installed because windows installer is affected.

    Hi Pappito,

    This problem occurs because the run-time libraries are not installed on the Microsoft Dynamics CRM server. The applications that use side-by-side libraries cannot run without the run-time libraries. There is an Article KB 923014 which speaks about the error 59.

    I would also suggest you to run a System File Checking on the computer:

    1. Click on the Start menu, choose All Programs, then Accessories, then right-click on the Command Prompt item and select Run as administrator.
    2. Click Continue to authorize opening a command prompt with administrative privileges.
    3. Run this command in the cmd prompt: sfc /scannow
    4. The cmd prompt should list text stating "Beginning system scan. This process will take some time."
    5. Wait for the scan to complete (this can take several minutes so be patient).  This command will scan all protected system files and attempt to replace incorrect versions with correct Microsoft versions
    6. When the scan completes, the SFC tool will indicate whether or not it found any problems and whether or not it was able to fix them
    7. If any errors are reported that SFC was unable to fix, there are steps in this knowledge base article that explain how to locate and attempt to fix the errors.
    8. After fixing any errors that are found.

    Let us know if that helps.

    Hi Chethan, i found your post becouse i had a problem similar to this. 

    Just today i was starting my computer but the screen was black and didnt start at all. So i end up shutting down manually and then start it again and it was like always, no problems. But when i try to open google chrome i had a message pop up that says: "C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe" (i use this bar / because i dont find the other one) and below it says "The application has failed to start beause its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail."

    I saw your post and run de command promp, and then scaned the computer. The scan found corrupt files and successfully repaired them. But i have the same problem when i want to run chrome.

    Could you lend me a hand? What should i do?

    I hope you could understand me well, my english is not to good.

    Thank you!!!!

    Hi,

    If the troubleshooting steps in this thread did not resolve your issue, create a new thread here. This will mitigate confusion caused by more than one posting about similar topics, allowing us to focus on each customer individually.

    Question....

    I've been researching this error for a while now.

    Why is it every "answer" references Microsoft Dynamics CRM, even though it is not mentioned in the problem description?

    I for one can confirm we are not using it anywhere on our network (and suspect most of these posts are home users who would not be either), and yet we are seeing this error appear on all of our Windows 7 Pro clients every time they copy a file up to our Windows 2008 R2 server.

    Related symptom, in our case, is one of the clients randomly locks up during file transfers, which in causes logout to fail because Folder Redirection can't find the server. Other than this error, nothing out of sorts appears in the event logs on either client or server side.

    Appologies in advance for any duplicate posts, but we need this resolved.

    This error only appears in the log file when logging in remotely using LogMeIn. This is a NEW Dell OptiPlex running Windows 7. It appears to be working fine with no pop-ups or visable errors except in the log.
