Doh !! You mean you can't run just *any* vcredist_x64.exe and expect it to work ;-) Running the *appropriate* vcredist_x64.exe fixes the problem. (The appropriate one being the one for VC++ 2008, not the one for VC++ 2005.) > Have a look at this article: > http://blogs.msdn.com/junfeng/archive/2006/04/14/576314.aspx for > further debugging information - skip down to the Vista section, and > you'll see that you can look in the event log for errors in the > application log from the 'SideBySide' source to get more information > about what dependency can't be located. Thanks for that additional info, too. (The Event Viewer did confirm that the required CRT could not be found.) Thanks for setting me straight, Rob.
