When I try to start adaware application I get the following error:

The application has failed because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log for more detail.

The application event log shows the following error:

Can you help? How extensive is this problem? Will it only effect adaware?
How can it be fixed? I don't know how it happened except this morning on
startup some unidentified appl wanted to run, on hitting control-alt-del
to identify it, it disappeared. Thanx for any light you can shed on this.

I un-installed ad-aware. Installed Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1.
Re-installed ad-aware. This corrected the problem.
