PSP X4 Error: side-by-side configuration is incorrect

Post by Grafula »

Computer Asus G50VT, Processor Intel Duo T9400, 4 BG Ram, 2 x 500 GB HDD, Nvidia GeForce 9800M GS 512 MMB

I just move from Win VIsta Ult. to Win 8 Pro 64bit

I installed PSP x4. The installation went fine, but when I try to start the program I get the following error:

The application failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more details.

A search suggest that I am missing Visual C++ runtime files, but I installed VC++ runtime files 2005, 2008 and 2010 both x64 and x86. Didn't help.

Getting desperate...
I also tried to install PSP x3, same error...

Hope someone can help... THANKS

I ran sxstrace.exe but it means nothing to me. See the results below:

Re: PSP X4 Error: side-by-side configuration is incorrect

There is a similar thread about PSPX4 being installed on Win8.

Try compatibility mode, PSPX4 is not supposed to be comatible with Win8 although a lot of people are using it with Win8.

Make sure when you install it that you get the necessary updates required for this version.
