World Builder

[NarkoTri1er]

Hello, I was really interested to install World Builder for Tiberium Wars 1.9. However, when I try to run it, I just get launch error saying that "application cannot start because side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Anyone has same problem? And how to fix it?

Found solution. What you actually need to do when you try to launch and get error message is to:
1. Go to Event Viewer;
2. Go to Windows Logs\Application;
3. Search for error with source SideBySide;
4. Click on error;
5. Under General tab you can see details of error;
6. You will find something like this: Activation context generation failed for "D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Command and Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars\WorldBuilder.exe". Dependent Assembly Microsoft.VC80.MFC,processorArchitecture="x86",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",type="win32",version="8.0.50608.0" could not be found. Please use sxstrace.exe for detailed diagnosis.;

7. Type the number that is between commas (version="*.*.*****.*" could not be found) into Google search box on your browser. Enther the Microsoft link saying "VS2005 SP1 version of Visuall C++....." and download the file;
8. Install the file;
9. Open WorldBuilder;
10. Enjoy.

Won't that version always be the same anyway? You just need the Visual C++ redistributable components. According to what I found online, should be the 2008 or 2010 components.

yes, but this saves your time since installing whole package will add up the missing components without messing up with your C++ Redistributable version.
It's basically just an easier route
