side-by-side configuration error

I am running Windows Vista Business (upgraded from an XP Dell Machine) with all updates.
Whenever I download and try to install Yahoo Messenger 9.0, 8.1, or even older versions
of this program, I'm getting the following:
"The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect.
Please see the application event log for more detail"
This sign appears when I activate the *.exe file (in this case yahoomessenger.exe).
I googled this problem, only very few and confuse answers associated to Microsoft®
Visual Studio® and .NET Framework came out. I'm not very smart...
As a note, I tweaked Vista to get a better performance. Should have stayed with XP...
Any comments and help will be greatly appreciated.
Sander.

There isn't anything online about it. I would say to get the Vista version when it
is released. Until then...
This seems to be a Yahoo issue as is common in 3rd. party software. No one wants
to follows the rules that M.S. gives them and they think they can do a better job
of it. ending up with stuff that doesn't work. Even the Yahoo question and answer
site had nothing but a bunch of anti-M.S. garbage on it. that should tell you a little
bit about their quality.

I'm not getting the side-by-side error anymore. However I still cannot download Y
Messenger, it says it's downloading and it never stops.
I guess you solved the side-by-side problem.
Hopefully I'll find a solution for the download.
Thanks.

The problem was the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Package in the system. I uninstalled
it, and downloaded the latest Visual C++ 2008 Package.
My previous message was posted by mistake. You did not help by debunking Yahoo. Thanks
for the positive propaganda for Microsoft.
