I'm trying to run an application "Sonic Wall Global VPN client" for the first time on this machine but i'm getting an error in event log :

Activation context generation failed for "C:\Program Files\SonicWALL\SonicWALL Global VPN Client\SWGVC.exe".Dependent Assembly Microsoft.VC90.MFC,processorArchitecture="amd64",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",type="win32",version="9.0.21022.8" could not be found. Please use sxstrace.exe for detailed diagnosis.

I looked up the error online and I found that I need to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 runtime. I currently have "Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 redistributable" (for x64 and x86) installed on my machine.

My question is: Will installing another version (2008) on my machine cause any problem ?

    No. Installing multiple different versions is fine. – DavidPostill Jan 19 '15 at 11:14

  • The WinSxS folder makes it possible to have several different versions installed. Install the **64Bit VC++ 2008 RTM Runtime** to fix your issue – magicandre1981 Jan 19 '15 at 16:54
