Side-by-Side Configuration error, missing Assembly files
-
Getting Side-by-Side Config error. Went through the debug steps, but I am having difficulty finding the Common Control packages that may need to be reinstalled via sxstrace.
(background: After windows update Vivaldi started throwing the side by side config error. Can't uninstall (same error), can't reinstall ("installation failed due to unspecified error"). Tried windows update rollback and new update. SFC found no errors.
Windows\assembly\GAC_64 and other folders do not exist, so I imagine that is an issue.
Anyone familiar? Have to leave for work and bleh.
Or maybe it is just time for a reload lol.

I have the same problem. I haven't investigated as far, but I have the same symptoms. Personally, this "side-by-side" message made me think of tab juxtaposition (I closed the browser with a juxtaposition between 2 tabs). But in the end, it seems to be a message for IT people... nothing to do with that.
