Hi,

run the Command prompt with admin rights [1] and run this command:

SxsTrace Trace -logfile:SxsTrace.etl

Now run the programm which causes the SideBySide error.

Go back to the command prompt press ENTER to generate the SxsTrace.etl. Now type this:

sxstrace Parse -logfile:SxSTrace.etl -outfile:SxSTrace.txt

Now open the SxSTrace.txt trace and look which VC++ runtime is missing.

If you are unsure, please upload the complete SxSTrace.txt to your SkyDrive [2] and post a link here.

Hello Ned-Ned,

Did you run the command prompt with administrator rights?

To do so:

Click Start

Type: CMD, from the results, right click CMD

Select 'Run as Administrator'

Now you are running the command prompt in an elevated Administrative mode.

At the Command Prompt, type in the commands that Andre gave you:

Do you still get Access denied?

Please reply back and let us know.

Thanks,
