hi all,

I am searching everywhere on the internet about this problem but nothing could solve it, even this link, (I know some of you will search on google and post it here :D )


after i install solidworks 2009 sp0, when i click the icon on desktop nothing happens, moreover when i try to open solidworks from its directory, I get this error message as follows;

This application 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.

EEnd,and Rleoch,

that was awesome, you figured it out! the key thing was it doesnt work when you try to set it up from microsoft links which I tried hundred of times, I managed it by searching in the dvd as rleoch said! (searching by VCRedist)

works like a charm now!
