Side by Side problem, missing Microsoft.VC90.MFC

Question

Running an upgraded Vista x64 to Windows7 x64. Not having any problems with Windows 7 except when I downloaded QuickGamma3 and tried running it. I got the "side by side" error.

RegEdit didn't work. I dl'd it, ran it, it detected and corrected only 14 items and it appears that you have to buy RegEdit to get the whole job done (about 300+ items were detected.)

Got to the event log. Botom line appears to be that Microsoft.VC90.MFC, processorArchitecture=x86,publickeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e3b",type="win32",version="9.0.21022.8" could not be found.

I already have the following in my computer:

Microsoft Visual C ++ 2005 ATL update kb973923-x86 8.0.50727.4053

Microsoft Visual C ++ 2005 ATL update kb973923-x64 8.0.50727.4053

Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable

Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable (x64)

Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable-x64 9.0.30729.17

Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable ATL Update-x64 kb9.0.30729.17

And have added:

Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x64)

Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86)

I again dl'd QG3 and ran it, but when opening QG3, I got the following Application error: "Ordinal 7138 couldn't be located in the DLL mfc90u.dll"

Because of the noted above problem with QG3, I dl'd/installed QG2 again...and it worked. But, of course, I'd still like to get QG3 on board. So what's with this missing dll problem?

Answer 1

Never read the whole QG3 website page.  If i had (http://www.quickgamma.de/indexen.html) I would have seen that I has to DL



Answer 2

It would be better to download the official binaries for Visual C++ 2008

Answer 3

You must install the RTM Version (9.0.21022.8) of Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable x86:
