Fix The application has failed to start because the side-by-side configuration is incorrect: If you try to run Windows 10 programs or utilities then the following error message may appear “The application has failed to start because the side by side configuration is incorrect please see the application event log or use the command line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail.” The issue is caused because of a conflict between the C++ run-time libraries with the application and the application is unable to load the required C++ files need for its execution. These libraries are part of the Visual Studio 2008 release and the version numbers start with 9.0.
It’s possible you may face another error before you get the error message about the side-by-side configuration which says “This file association does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Set Association control panel.” Most of the time these errors are caused by incompatible, corrupt or outdated C++ or C run-time libraries but sometimes you may also face this error because of corrupt System Files. In any case, let’s see how to actually fix this error with the below-listed troubleshooting guide.
1.Press Windows Key + X then select Command Prompt (Admin).
2.Type the following command into cmd to start trace mode and hit Enter:
Command:- SxsTrace Trace -logfile:SxsTrace.etl
3.Now don’t close the cmd, just open the application which is giving the side-by-side configuration error and click OK to close the error pop-up box.
4.Switch back to the cmd and hit Enter which will stop the tracking mode.
5.Now in order to convert the dumped trace file into human readable form, we will need to parse this file using sxstrace tool and in order to that enter this command into cmd:
parse this file using sxstrace tool sxstrace Parse
6.The file will be parsed and will be saved into C:\Windows\system32\ directory. Press Windows Key + R then type the following and hit Enter:
Run:- %windir%\system32\SxSTrace.txt
7.This will open the SxSTrace.txt file which will have all the information about the error.
8.Find out which C++ run time library it requires and installs that particular version from the below-listed method.
