Side-by-side configuration is incorrect for Avast antivirus












0














I've tried everything from multiple forums online and nothing seems to work.
The error I get says:




C:Program FilesAVAST SoftwareAvastAvastUI.exe



The 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.




So I ran the sxstrace.exe tool and this is what the I got from the .txt file:

Anyone knows what this means?

          Make sure you install x86 and x64 versions side by side - note, you only can install x64 on a 64-bit Windows OS, so if it fails to install x64, then just skip that (no harm done).
