It happens when I run Vue 6 Infinite on my XP32 SP2 system on my 2.26GHz P4.

What is SideBySide?

I reported this an many other messages in event viewer and was told "it doesn't matter, it's not important"
What they are and what they mean I have no idea!

SidesBySide is part of the Microsoft Visual Studio development tools for C++ (and perhaps the other programming languages as well).
I once encountered a lot of SBS errors saying SBS was'nt correctly installed. Some progs did'nt react after starting and all my application log was full.
After I installed the C++ V8 redist package (you can obtain it from MS download), I do'nt have problems any more.

Yeah! I just spent the last two weeks with an MS tech, because my Temp folder is filling up with Log files.  The tech finally said, "Not important, it is the way the system logs its activity.?!"  

It never did that before!  Is this some kind of new check your computer activity by MS?

No, this portion of SBS is written by Seagate. The purpose is filling the harddisk ;-)

Shame on Seagate.  I thought three harddrives were enough!

The error is: 
Generate Activation Context failed for C:Program Filese-on softwareVue 6 InfiniteModulesMicrosoft.VC80.MFCMFC80.DLL. 

So I'll try the C++ v8 redist pack and see.

If that doesn't work, here's a description to fix the problem manually:
**
Though there are no runtime errors,there might be errors in event viewer** like Component identity found in manifest does not match the identity of the component requested Syntax error in manifest or policy file

"C:ClientMicrosoft.VC80.MFC.MANIFEST" on line 4. Generate Activation.Context failed for C:Clienttest.dll. Reference error message: The operation completed successfully

There are 2 bugs which cause this.

1. The assembly manifest of Microsoft.VC80.MFCLOC is incorrect. It has version 8.0.50727.42 instead of 8.0.50608.0.

Solution
Change the version number

should be changed to

1. Microsoft.VC80.MFCLOC is referenced not by the application but by MFC80[ud].dll
    
   Solution
   Microsoft.VC80.MFCLOC directory has to be under Microsoft.VC80.MFC directory and not at the same level.

Does anyone have a link to the C++ V8?

I get the above errors everytime I try to load a model from the extras CD and it crashes Vue6.

I run WinXP64 and have the digital version of Vue6Inf so I have the ExtrasCD zip file instead of the Extras CD1 CD.

I've attached the redist file as a .zip
I hope that works.

No, didn't work. Had to search ms-download. Here's the link:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=32bc1bee-a3f9-4c13-9c99-220b62a191ee&DisplayLang=en

It's newer than the one, I used but I think that does not matter.

Here's VC++ redist X64 link

Thanks, tried that one and some of the models still crash Vue6, not all but some of them. Models without the CD symbol and those that are imported work fine but some with the CD symbol simply crash Vue6 and when I look at the event logs it says Side by side. :(

Aldaron,

the side by side error is not a unique one, but a class of errors. The more important information follows the SBS error. Paste the error description and the name of the scene here, perhaps we can see what is causing it.
btw, did you install the update for VUE Inf 6 ?

regards,
Roger

That's just it, I have no other errors in the event log that go with that. After that happens it's just normal events. 

I guess it's not much of a big deal as it's only certain models from the Extras that don't work, I can always find other models to import.

As for the update, if you mean the beta update, no. I'm waiting until it's out of beta to apply it.

Thanks
