Parallel configurations are not set correctly. Could not start application parallel google chrome configuration

Windows is constantly updated, so some programs and games do not keep up with the system. As a result, there are problems with the compatibility and launch of applications. It is usually quite simple to enable compatibility with an older version, but some errors are fixed in other ways. In particular, it is a failure, which is accompanied by a message that the parallel configuration is incorrect.

Search for a reason

When the error “Parallel configuration is incorrect” appears, Windows tells you what steps to take to find out the cause of the failure. Typically, a message indicates that information about the causes can be found in the program’s event log. If there is no log, use the sxstrace.exe command, which allows you to determine which module is having configuration problems.

To diagnose the error with sxstrace.exe, follow these steps:

In principle, you can do without diagnostics, immediately proceeding to correct the error. Diagnostics only allows you to roughly determine which method to use to fix the failure.

Troubleshooting

The most common cause of a message stating that the configuration is incorrect is the conflict between Visual C ++ and Windows. To resolve a conflict with Visual C ++:

If after reinstalling the libraries the program that generated the error stops starting, try uninstalling it and reinstalling it.

Another possible reason is registry errors. To find and fix them, you must first start the registry editor: press Win + R and run "regedit". Before you make changes to the registry, create a recovery point.

After making the change, be sure to restart the computer. The next time you start the system, there should be no configuration problem.

Hello!

Today I encountered such a problem - I tried to go into browser  google chrome but couldn’t because of an unexpected error: " Could not start applicationbecause its parallel configuration is incorrect. For more information, see the application event log or use the command line program sxstrace.exe  for more information. "

C: Program FilesGoogleApplicationchrome.exe

I searched for a solution to this problem for a long and tedious time and still found this method!

So it was like this - I went to the official google forum at this link https://goo.gl/V0Jr7C, everyone on the forum says that you need to download libraries visual c ++  2005 or 2008 for your Windows system. I have installed Windows 7 sp1 32  bit, so I started downloading the libraries I needed and doing the installation of these files here https://goo.gl/sI51HY - NOW THE MOST IMPORTANT !!! THESE WAYS DO NOT HELP ME !!! Perhaps they will help you, but they did not help me !!! After all the installations, the Google Chrome browser did not open !!! I killed 30 minutes for all these actions!

I recommend that you refer to the method that will be described in the step-by-step instructions below, or you can use the libraries and install them correctly on your PC - it’s up to you!

Let's describe our method of solving the problem for Windows 7 sp1 (maybe this option is suitable for other operating systems)

1) Go to drive C in the "Users" folder

3) When you are in this folder, look in the upper left corner and find the item "ORDER" - click!

4) In the pop-up menu we find the item "FOLDER AND SEARCH OPTIONS" - click!

5) We go to the tab "VIEW" and lower the window slider to the bottom until it stops

6) Put a point in "SHOW HIDDEN FILES, FOLDERS AND DISKS" - click "OK"

7) We look in the folder - a hidden folder with the name "appears in it Appdata"- we go into it

9) In the folder "User Data" we are trying to find the folder " Default"- if you found this folder - DELETE IT, if you didn’t find it - then we don’t do anything, but just close all the folders and drive C.

10) We go to the official Google website https://goo.gl/b2w8xZ and download the new chrome browser installation file

11) Install the program and that's it !!! CHROME works again! All bookmarks remain untouched !!! Thank you all for watching! There will be questions on the computer - write, I will try to help

The advice helped. But ..... Instead of deleting the Default folder, I cut it to a separate location. Installed Chrom. After such an installation, all panel settings, passwords, etc., were reset. It turned out to be completely pure Chrom. I re-entered the folder ... AppDataLocalGoogleChromeUser Data I crashed the Default folder in it and replaced the old cut-out version instead. After this focus, all browser user settings were restored.

i can’t start the browser shortcut. google chrome gives an error. The application could not be started because its parallel configuration is incorrect.

Error "Failed to start the application. Parallel configuration is incorrect."

With the active use of the PC, users may experience unpleasant situations in which a particular game or program simply refuses to start, giving a certain error. Today in this article we will consider a fairly common error - “The application could not be started because its parallel configuration is incorrect”

There are two of the most effective methods that help to eliminate this error that occurs when starting applications on Windows.

• Reinstall the Microsoft VISUAL C ++ package;
• Editing the registry.

Correcting a parallel configuration error by reinstalling Microsoft VISUAL C ++

The first method is very simple and fast. It will not take you much time, nor will it require any in-depth knowledge of the computer field. You will need a banal reinstallation of the program with its preliminary removal.

Very often programs and games do not start, give a parallel configuration error due to incompatibility with the installed versions of the Visual C ++ 2008 or Visual C ++ 2010 system library. We will reinstall them.

To do this, go to "" and select " Programs and Features«.

Next, in the list of installed programs, delete the ones highlighted in the image below, namely Microsoft Vusial C ++ 2005, Microsoft Vusial C ++ 2008 and Microsoft Visual C ++ 2010, Microsoft Vusial C ++ 2015 and Microsoft Vusial C ++ 2013 with X64 and X68 bit sizes.

Visual C libraries in the list of installed programs

The next step is to restart the computer and download the Visual C ++ installation packages from the official Microsoft website.

After downloading the packages, install them and restart the PC again and try to run the application that generated the error "The application failed to start. The parallel configuration is incorrect."

Registry Corrections

This method is somewhat more complicated than the previous one. He will require utmost care and strict adherence to instructions.

Attention! You do all operations with the registry at your own risk. It is recommended that you create a recovery point before starting.

Run the “Run” window with the key combination “ Win »+» R"And enter the command" regedit«.

The combination of buttons "Win" + "R" on the keyboard

The registry editor will open. You need to go along the following path, opening the folders in the left part of the window that opens:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - SOFTWARE - Microsoft - Windows - CurrentVersion - SideBySide - Winners - x86_policy.9.0.microsoft.vc90.crt_ (various letters and numbers) - 9.0

After navigating to the specified path, 3 parameters will be displayed in the right part of the window. The first one will have the name "(Default)", and the other two will be digital names.

So, the value of the “(Default)” parameter should correspond to the name of the last parameter in this folder. If this is not the case, then you need to change the value of the “Default” parameter to a value equal to the name of the last parameter in the folder by double-clicking on it.

Matching values \u200b\u200band name in windows registry

Now go along the path:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - SOFTWARE - Microsoft - Windows - CurrentVersion - SideBySide - Winners - x86_policy.8.0.microsoft.vc80.crt_ (various letters and numbers) - 8.0

And do the same, that is, check if the default parameter value matches the name of the last parameter in the folder. And if they differ, change the value of the "(Default)" parameter.

After all the manipulations done, restart the computer and try to run the program that generated the error "The application could not be started because its parallel configuration is incorrect."

When launching some not the newest, but necessary programs in Windows 10, 8 and Windows 7, the user may encounter the error “The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect - in English versions of Windows).

In this instruction - step by step on how to fix this error in several ways, one of which is likely to help and allow you to run a program or game that reports problems with a parallel configuration.

Correcting Incorrect Parallel Configurations by Rearranging Microsoft Visual C ++ Redistributable

The first way to fix the error does not involve any diagnostics, but it is the easiest for a novice user and most often works in Windows.

In the overwhelming majority of cases, the cause of the message “Failed to start the application because its parallel configuration is incorrect” is the incorrect operation or conflicts of the installed software of the distributed components of Visual C ++ 2008 and Visual C ++ 2010 that are necessary to run the program, and the problems with them are relatively easy to fix.

1. Go to the control panel - programs and components
2. If the list of installed programs contains the Microsoft Visual C ++ 2008 and 2010 Redistributable Package (or Microsoft Visual C ++ Redistributable, if the English version is installed), x86 and x64 versions, remove these components (select it, select "Delete" from the top).
3. After removal, restart the computer and reinstall these components from the official Microsoft website (download addresses - hereinafter).

You can download Visual C ++ 2008 SP1 and 2010 packages on the following official pages (for x64-based systems, install both x64 and x86 versions, for 32-bit systems only x86 version):

• Microsoft Visual C ++ 2008 SP1 32-bit (x86) - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id\u003d5582
• Microsoft Visual C ++ 2008 SP1 64-bit - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id\u003d2092
• Microsoft Visual C ++ 2010 SP1 (x86) - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id\u003d8328
• Microsoft Visual C ++ 2010 SP1 (x64) - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id\u003d13523

After installing the components, restart the computer again and try to run the program that reported the error. If it does not start this time, but you have the opportunity to reinstall it (even if you have already done this before) - try, maybe it will work.

Note: in some cases, the truth is rare today (for old programs and games), you may need to perform the same steps for the components of Microsoft Visual C ++ 2005 SP1 (easily searched on the official Microsoft website).

Additional Ways to Fix a Bug

The full text of the error message in question looks like “The application could not be started because its parallel configuration is incorrect. For more information, see the application event log or use the sxstrace.exe command-line tool for more information. ”Sxstrace is one way to diagnose which module's parallel configuration is causing the problem.

To use sxstrace, run the command line as administrator, and then follow these steps.

1. Enter the command sxstrace trace /logfile:sxstrace.etl (you can specify the path to the etl log file as well).
2. Run the program that causes the error, close (click "OK") the error window.
3. Type sxstrace parse /logfile:sxstrace.etl /outfile:sxstrace.txt
4. Open sxstrace.txt

In the command execution log, you will see information about exactly what error occurred, as well as the exact version (installed versions can be viewed in “programs and components”) and the bit depth of Visual C ++ components (if they are the case), which is needed for this application to work and Use this information to install the desired package.

Another option that can help, or vice versa, can cause problems (i.e. use it only if you can and are ready to solve problems with Windows) - use the registry editor.

Open the following registry branches:

• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \\ SOFTWARE \\ Microsoft \\ Windows \\ CurrentVersion \\ SideBySide \\ Winners \\ x86_policy.9.0.microsoft.vc90.crt_ (character_set) \\ 9.0
• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \\ SOFTWARE \\ Microsoft \\ Windows \\ CurrentVersion \\ SideBySide \\ Winners \\ x86_policy.8.0.microsoft.vc80.crt_ (character_set) \\ 8.0

Note the “Default” value and the list of versions in the values \u200b\u200bbelow.

If the default value is not equal to the latest version in the list, then change it so that it becomes equal. After that, close the registry editor and restart the computer. Check if the problem has been fixed.

At this point in time, these are all ways to fix the incorrect parallel configuration error that I can offer. If something does not work out or there is something to add, I am waiting for you in the comments.

Hello. Today I want to talk about an error that does not occur so often, but users are asking for help to fix it - "the parallel configuration failed to start is incorrect." How to fix Windows 10? If you use Windows with an English interface, the message has a slightly different wording: “The application failed to start because side by side configuration incorrect”.

Let's start with the simplest ones, which do not provide for a deep immersion in the diagnosis of the system. This is the best method for beginners:

Reinstall Microsoft VCR

Not so long ago, I talked about the Microsoft Visual C ++ Redistributable library, which helps fix the missing component error. Today it is also useful to us.

• Click on the link "Programs ..."

• We wait until the list of installed software is loaded and in it we find all the elements with the name "Visual C ++ ...", we delete it one by one:

Reboot the PC and reinstall the remote components. To do this, use the following links to the official Microsoft website:

• x86 (2008)
• x64 (2008)
• x86(2010)
• x64 (2010)

After installation, you must restart the computer.

If the error “cannot start the program, the parallel configuration is incorrect” occurs while trying to run very old games, you can also try installing the Visual C ++ 2005 component.

Diagnosis of causes

If you look at the full text of the message, you can see useful information on how to get additional data about the problem:

Using the Sxstrace utility, a failed module can be detected. Now you will learn how to do it.

• Open the CMD console with admin rights () and write the command:

• The trace utility starts up:

• We give the command to create a log file where the necessary data will be written:

sxstrace trace /logfile:sxstrace.etl

• After that, open the file (shortcut) again, causing the error.
• We write down the diagnostic information in a text document:

sxstrace parse /logfile:sxstrace.etl /outfile:sxstrace.txt

• Now open the sxstrace.txt file (you can specify any name with the extension “txt” in the previous step) and look at the line that comes after the word ERROR. There will be indicated the version of the missing (faulty) library. Here it must be removed from the "Programs", and then reinstalled as previously described.

There is another method related to editing the registry. But, as practice shows, it is effective only in the hands of experienced users. And often after its application, the system’s performance is disrupted. Therefore, I do not recommend resorting to it if an application error occurs. The parallel configuration is incorrect. Let's hope that simpler ways will help you. Waiting for comments and questions.

Sincerely, Victor!
