    While working on photoshop suddenly I was unable to "export as" it was giving me some sort of error about the side by side configuration. I figured it probably needed some sort of update. So after I finished working on it I decided to uninstall and delete it so that I could download it again. I downloaded the file and then the same exact message kept on appearing. I tried downloading something else to install  (adobe acrobat) same thing happened.

    The message I keep on Receiving is the following: 

    The application has failed to start because it's side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail

    Below is the application Log error message I'm seeing.

    Activation context generation failed for "System Default Context".Error in manifest or policy file "C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\manifests\x86_microsoft.windows.gdiplus_6595b64144ccf1df_1.1.15063.608_none_9e9d5d4256d15def.manifest" on line 0. Invalid Xml syntax.

    I did some research and found out that I needed to copy 1.1.15063.608 and paste in google and that it would take me to a Windows visual c++ something download which I did, when i downloaded it. Same exact message kept on appearing.

    Please help me!!!

    This forum is for people writing applications themselves. For support on Photoshop please contact Adobe.

    This is a signature. Any samples given are not meant to have error checking or show best practices. They are meant to just illustrate a point. I may also give inefficient code or introduce some problems to discourage copy/paste coding. This is because the major point of my posts is to aid in the learning process.
