Runtime Error! Program C:\... "This application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way"

software programs that are not compatible, if your computer has memory problems, or if the computer has been infected with malicious software.

Therefore, I suggest you to check if there are any latest updates available for the program from the manufacturer's site.

Contact the xxxxxxxxx Support for better assistance on this issue.

This type of error could be caused if runtime components of Visual C++ libraries are missing or because of third-party software.

Follow the methods listed below:

Method 1:

If the issue is caused due to missing Visual C++ libraries, you may download and install the Runtime components of Visual C++ libraries from the link below:

This error may occur when the Microsoft .NET Framework installation on the computer is damaged or is missing.

Try the below step to reinstall and repair the Microsoft .NET Framework installation on the computer and later check if you can install the software.

a) Click the Start button, click  Control Panel, click Programs, and then click "Turn Windows features on or off." If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

b) Locate Microsoft .NET framework 3.5.1, uncheck the box, click OK and restart the computer.

c) After the restart again open "Turn Windows features on or off" and place  a check mark next to Microsoft .NET framework 3.5.1 and restart the computer.

Step 2

If the above step fails then I would suggest that you manually download and install Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 and 2008 Redistributable Package and check if you can install the software.

In Programs and Features, do you show that you have installed Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable and Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable? If not, download from the links here.

While I do not know how to fix the problem (I am running XP home edition), I found that it does not occur in safe mode.  Using MSCONFIG, I started by loading with no services, and the problem did not happen.  I then began selectively disabling services, and found that the problem seems to occur when the service "event log" is enabled, but not occur if "event log" is stopped.  However, running the computer with event log stopped prevents it from recognizing wireless networks -- that is, the system tray icon message states that wireless networks are available, but an attempt to view the wireless networks states that none are found.  I am currently "getting around" the problem by starting up with the event log running, finding and connecting to the wireless network (firefox works, explorer does not, don't know why) then running MSCONFIG to disable the event log and restarting.  It's a pain, but until someone answers this  with a real fix, it does work.
