Side-by-side configuration error

If you are using a 64bit system and have tried to install Bryce 7 you may have come across this error message:

“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.”

If so, here's what to do:

First make sure you have all the latest updates for your computer.
Then go to http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=26347. From this page you need to download and install vcredist_x86.EXE 

That should fix the problem.If not, try the solution found in the Daz help center:https://helpdaz.zendesk.com/entries/20633961A.
