Thank you for your reply. It won't delete anything on your system, clean boot will help eliminate software conflicts that occur when you install a program or an update or when you run a program in Windows 10.

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone can help? I installed a game via Steam and it will not play. Windows tells me there is a side by side issue and mentions a file called sxstrance.exe.
I followed the advice on the MS site and installed Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013 .
Two of the files reinstalled but the file vcredist_arm.exe would not install.
I also did all this stuff.
Is there a viable solution to this problem?
the game is Cities Xl Platinum if that is of any consequence.
Thanks
