The definitive guide to Windows 8.1. Created for professional Windows users and Windows enthusiasts alike, this deep reference guide goes above and beyond any other reference guide available on the world’s most popular operating system.
Hi, Thank you for asking the question in Microsoft Community Forums and providing an opportunity to assist you. I would appreciate if you answer this question. What methods have you tried from the Windows help solution? I would suggest you to check whether the software is compatible with Windows 8, with the help of the given link. If it’s not compatible then I would suggest you to install in compatibility mode.
Steps: a) Press the ‘ Windows + W’ key on the keyboard. B) Type compatibility in the search box and then press enter.
C) Click “ Run programs made for previous versions of Windows” option from the list appeared in the left side. D) Select the Software and install. If the issue still persists, I would suggest you to contact Quick Verse support. Hope this information is helpful. If you need further assistance regarding Windows, please post. We will be happy to help you.
I have had this problem with Quickverse 9 in Windows 8. The error message I get is: 'The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect.
Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail.' I have checked the event log and it is not helpful. I have also done a search for other solutions and it involves going into the registry and changing the runtime C component version number. I have done this even with a search finding all the C version numbers and changing them and it has not worked. I have tried a few other minor changes, but nothing has worked. The windows alternative compatibility change has also not worked.
Any other solution you would propose would be appreciated.
