Hi!
Just installed AvastFree on my laptop (using Vista). After installing it, when I try to open it gives an error message (in portuguese) that I translate as:
" It was not possible to start the application because the configuration side-by-side is incorrect. See the application event regist for further details."
After this it only allows me to click ok. The only way I can acess avast is when I try to uninstall it. The windows security center says avast is running.
I allready tried to uninstall/install it again. I used cleaning programs sugested on this forum to clean possible conflicts with the previous use of microsoft security essentials and norton without success.

what do you mean?
-
I mean that after using these programs, Avast still does´t run and the error continues to happen.
-
did you reboot after running Norton and MSE removal tools ?
i suggest go back to start.....
run removal tool for avast .....run from safe mode and reboot...... http://www.avast.com/en-no/uninstall-utility
then run Norton and MSE tools.....and reboot http://singularlabs.com/uninstallers/security-software/
install avast, reboot
did it work ?

You are missing an element required by avast:
Side-By-Side Configuration is Incorrect Error - You need to install MS Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable.
You need 2008 SP1 - this is the one:
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package ATL Security Update (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=2051a0c1-c9b5-4b0a-a8f5-770a549fd78c)

Thanks David R . I had to Scan back 15 Pages to find it. C++ 2008 fixed My problem.
