Side by Side Config and Net Framework problems

Hi all,
After a sudden computer freeze (during normal net browsing) I have problems with side by side configuration and also Net framework.
The computer starts normally but I get the message from GoogleEUlallauncher:
"impossible to load c:\windows\microsoft.Net\Framework\V2.0.50727\mscorwks.dll"

Then I can not start several applications. they give the message:
"application has failed to start because side by side configuration is incorrect"

Among those applications are: Acrobat reader, AVG (virus), Google earth, Msworks,FSX(flightsim)
The application ADE (Airport Design editor, FSX) gives on start the same message as GoogleEUlallauncher concerning FrameworK.

I have made some research already on your site and found some threads about this side by side
Problem as this one for example:
http://www.vistax64.com/general-discussion/283887-side-side-configuration.html

So I have already tried to do what is said there.
I have reinstalled (repair) the Microsoft Visual C++ libraries.
I have also tried to reinstall Microsoft.Net frameworK
For Net Framework 2.0 to I got the message that is was part of the system and that it could not be installed. (I use Vista 32 bits)
For Net Framework 3.5 Sp1 I got at the end an error message with code "1603".

I have also done already SFC and SXSTRACE.
You have the logs attached.
For Sxstrace I launched Acrobat,Avg, Google Earth and ADE , in that order.

Would be happy to know if there is a possibility to avoid a reinstall!:D

I use Vista 32 bits (french edition).
You find my other computer specs in my profile.

Hi,

If I understand well Sxstrace and Sfc signal the manifest
x86_policy.8.0.microsoft.vc80.crt_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.4053_none_516e2e610f48bda6.manifest
as the origin of my problems.

Something seems wrong with the "Noinheritable" in line 3!
Those internet addresses at the end seem also bizarre!

What can be done about that?

I have attached the manifest.

Guy

I have run also now the System Update Readiness Tool for vista, that you indicated in the other thread.

It signals again the same manifest and could not repair.

The Checksur.log is attached.

Hello guy9 and welcome to the forums

Do you have a Vista installation DVD?

Tom

Hi Tom,

Thanks for your answer.

I have the Vista installation Dvd.
It should be possible to recuperate that failing manifest from there!

Guy

Excellent, I think you should give this a go:

Tom

P.S. Your English is excellent!

Thanks for your answer, Tom.

Is there really no other and simpler possibility to recover that ONE file?

I would prefer to retain the Repair Install as a last possibilty, because I am afraid it could lead to other problems (loss of data etc).

Guy

Welcome
Repair install should not create problems, I suggest that is the way to go. Other alternatives include fixing the Side by Side if another memember knows the procedure or reinstall. There are always riskes involved, but you may want to reduce the chance of problems by downloading Ubuntu and trying to save your stuff. Good luck

Hi,

I did some research on the net and found a source for the corrupt manifest in another forum where someboby had similar problems.
This manifest seems to be part of Visual C++ 2005.

So I took the ownership of the manifest file and replaced it by this new version.
(one can use notepad to modify a manifest!)

Now everything works again normally! :D

The manifest is
x86_policy.8.0.microsoft.vc80.crt_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.4053_none_516e2e610f48bda6.manifest
in c:\windows\winsxs\manifests

Attached is the version I used for replacement.
