After a crash of the OS, I get this error message: “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.ext tool for more detail.” Huh?
I suggest an installation from scratch:
- Download the latest version of avast! Uninstall Utility and save it.
- Download the latest avast! version and save it.
- (Optional) If you want, save your avast! settings for later restoration (Settings > Maintenance > Back up).
- Uninstall avast! from Control Panel (if possible) and reboot.
- Run the avast! Uninstall Utility saved on 1 in and follow the instructions. Reboot Windows in Safe Mode, uninstall avast! and then reboot in Normal Mode again.
- Install avast! using the setup saved on 2. Register your free copy or add the license key for the paid versions. Boot.
- Check and post the results.
Please, be patient, boot when it’s said to boot…

In windows, go to your control panel, select add/remove, click Avast, then change, and repair. Then reboot.
