A Armindilo New member Joined Jun 6, 2015 Posts 1 Jun 6, 2015 #1 Short version of the last couple of days: Most (all?) of my system32 programs have Side-by-Side errors. I've tried the following: uninstall and reinstall vc++ (all of them, in ascending order) Uninstalling KBxxxxxx associated with these errors Restoring Windows to a restore point Various virus, malware, 'fix' programs (only ones with reputable reviews, and no registry 'fixers') Tried clean Windows start, but can't because msconfig spits out sxs error. Tried to install SURT, but it also gives an sxs error. Created .etl file with sxstrace. Now my problem arises: When I run sxstrace (from elevated cmd) with the parse command, it doesn't parse. I just get the help screen, as if I had used -?. I've tried a few restarts and triple checked what I typed out, but no luck. Any ideas?
