    I have a Dell Poweredge 310 running Windows 2008 R2 Standard. I have update the bios to the latest version and the bios update did take but now all of my 32bit software will not run. I receive the error “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”

     

    I have looked over other posts and most have stated to install the C++ redistribution 2008. I was able to install the 64 bit version but I cannot install the 32bit version. I receive the error “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 am not able to install any 32bit software.  I have tried to enable the WOW64 feature with the command DISM /online /enable-feature/featurename:ServerCore-WOW64 but get this Error: 0x800f080c Feature name ServerCore-WOW64 is unknown.

     

    I have also tried to use this command to setup WOW64  start /w ocsetup ServerCore-WOW64 I get this “The specified windows component could not be found: ServerCore-WOW64.

     

    I have looked at the .Net 3.5 that comes installed in the Windows Features and it is installed. I do not want to uninstall and reinstall the feature because it will take down the AD and I really do not want to rebuild the AD

     

    Is there some setting I am missing?

    Just an update on my issue.

    As you can suspect the threads on the Side by Side errors mostly refer to install some version of the C++ redistribution package. In my case any 32 bit program will not run. so if I try to install the C++ 32bit redistribution pack, it errors.

    I broke down and called Dell. Their tech support was able to recognize the issue very quickly.

    they said that in a recent Microsoft update install, which happens every Tuesday of each month, one of the updates failed and wiped out the some of the sxs manifests.

    the fix was to install the KB947821 update.

    I do have windows 2008 R2 standard and this system update is for windows 7 but the tech said it is good for 7 and 2008 R2.

    it took about 45 minutes to completely install but then it all started working again

    I hope this helps anyone with this issue.

    The Dell tech said he has seen this countless times.
