Last thread I only wanted to know how to restore my comp to factory settings. Refer to my previous thread for Computer specifications. Anyway, while trying to install Fallout 3, I click on the fallout 3 launcher.exe and it says E:\ Side by side config is incorrect etc etc. What do? Oh and trying to install the C++ redistributables doesnt work since an error appears.

Start with a system file check.
Type sfc /scannow into an elevated command prompt and press enter.

Re: Side by Side Configuration Error
Hello!
Can you please follow some of the guidance from this thread: side by side configuration
Also, could you please copy the error word for word? Was it an error 1935, by any chance?
Thanks, and the very best of luck!

My System SpecsRe: Side by Side Configuration Error
Hello Headcrabs there are a couple of ways to do a restore.
Fisrt try and go back at least 5 days before the problem started and do a computer restore. If That does not work and you want to do a full factory restore then you will need to have either the factory recovery disk's or the full purchase program disk's and you put it in to the drive and then turn off your computer, then reboot and when the instructions come up on your screen it will guide you through the process, a full factory restore takes a while to do.
However I do agree with Niemiro 100% and I recommend you follow his advice first before doing the restore.
I would also do a full AV scan plus download malwarbytes and run a full scan so you can mark those off the list, this way it will tell us if you have been infected.

Re: Side by Side Configuration Error
Uhh the system restore point doesn't go as far back as five days and this problem has been going on long before that. OH and: E:\ The application has failed to start because it's side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Pleas see the application event log for more detail. The error in event viewer: Activation context generation failed for "E:\FalloutLauncher.exe"Dependent Assembly Microsoft.VC80.CRT,processorArchitecture="x86",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",type="win32".version="8.0.50727.762
could not be found. Please use sxstrace.exe for detailed

I have a question. WHY IS THIS ERROR (supposedly) SO COMMON?
