Yeah, so I got a new laptop today and I was trying to install my Amazon digital purchased version of Corel Paint Shop Pro X6. I entered the correct S/N and it gives me the following error when I try to open it: The applicaiton has 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 detail.

What the hell does that mean? I thought uninstalling it on my other laptop would do it, but it's still fucked. Can someone PLEASE help me out here? I REALLY need this program as I bought this laptop with it in mind. Thank you so much!

I deleted the C++, but the first link I tried to download isn't available. Damn it.

Anyone got any other suggestions? I can't download even the first C++ download, so I'm fucked.

Honestly sorry, this is too muddled for me. But maybe you can try to install it from here or something: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads

Anyway, good luck. I'm sure you will get it solved.

Thanks a bunch, bro. I downloaded the first x86 package and now my Paint Shop Pro works just fine. You're a freaking life saver. Thank you SO much for the help!
