Download the x86 version (no matter what your PC is) off this page: <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=766a6af7-ec73-40ff-b072-9112bab119c2" target="_blank">http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...72-9112bab119c2</a>

    I'll give it a shot once Im done. 85% right now. I've had 2 people they got that error. I'll try it without the fix first, and then using the fix. Thanks for the link :)

    Thanks Comprox. I was trying to find the fix myself but was getting lost in the tech talk. Works fine now.

    Ahhh, thanks this saved my day! I was ready to rip my hair off to get this working. Saved me from a lot of trouble.

    Comprox - may I suggest a sticky for this thread? I think a lot of people will run into this one.

    I don't know if UWE or Microsoft has written the error-text, but there's a spelling-mistake in german translation: "Anwenungskonfiguration" ;)

    Definitely sticky this thread; it was taking me awhile to figure out what was wrong.

    Stick this, I was using Vista 64 and I did not tried the x86 one and I think so much people are going crazy for this reason.

    Spawn of Chaos ... try this:

    <!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->To extract files from a .msi file at the command line, type:

    msiexec /a PathToMSIFile /qb TARGETDIR=DirectoryToExtractTo

    For example, to extract files from f:\zenworks\zfdagent.msi into c:\zfd701 you would type:

    msiexec /a f:\zenworks\zfdagent.msi /qb TARGETDIR=c:\zfd701

    The destination directory does not need to exist prior to running this command.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    Ooh. Sounds fun. XD

    <b>Edit:</b>

    Crap. The file is an EXE that extracts to a temporary file then runs the installer. Now what?!

    I am getting that error, and unfortunately, that fix is doing nothing for me :( I tried the 2005 redist, it didn't work, tried the 2008 redist, and it didn't work, so now I have no idea how to fix this.

    The error I get from the log is:

    Activation context generation failed for "E:\Games\NS2 Spark\Natural Selection 2\Editor.exe". Dependent Assembly Microsoft.VC80.CRT,processorArchitecture="x86",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",type="win32",version="8.0.50727.4053" could not be found. Please use sxstrace.exe for detailed diagnosis.

    I don't know what sxstrace is, but it doesn't do anything when I try to run it. Any thoughts?

    **EDIT** Disregard this post, I reinstalled the editor, and it is behaving itself now :D

    "This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix the problem." - is also fixed by the ATL Security Update link given.

    What version of Windows are you running? Does c:\windows\system32\advpack.dll exist on your machine?
