[SOLVED] Side-by-Side Error When Opening Hacks

Just a few days ago, I switched from a 64 bit Vista to 32 bit Vista. (Don't say "Why did you do that?")

So I completely cleaned my hard drive, which on the positive side got me a fairly large amount of space to use.

Bad news is, when I went to download my server tools, (Vac Chaos, Mod Loader) I run them as administrator and the error comes up.

This is what it says:

The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log for more detail.


I have gone through a lot of trouble to try and fix this.

What I've done so far:

• Installed the SP1 and SP2 Packages for Vista
• Installed latest DirectX

I don't know where to go now!

If anyone knows what I should do, whether it be C++ or something that I need to download or uninstall, please let me know.

Thanks for the support guys,

Download and install this:
Downloaddetails: Visual C++*2005 Redistributable Package (x86)
Then it should work!

Why did you stayed with Vista ?

Maybe I don't like WinCrap, But you should at least upgrade to 7, If you can say "Upgrade"... Just don't go with Vista..

i knew someone will need the redistributables so i made a VC++ redistributable pack 2005 x86/x64, 2008 x86/x64 and 2010 x86/x64 so download the attachment below i will post virusscan but its officially downloaded from microsoft.com install all of x86 redistributables and download .NET Framework 4.0 and directx
DirectX June 2010 Download - Microsoft
install everything and then try
