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:
Activation context generation failed for "C:\Program
Files\Lavasoft\Ad-Aware\Ad-Aware.exe". Dependent Assembly

with sxstrace running I tried to start adaware and got the following trace:

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.
