Constant updates to Windows have led to the fact that many programs do not run on current versions of operating systems. Not all publishers keep their games and programs up to date, which can lead to errors when trying to launch them. Most of these reprieves can be assumed to be based on the establishment of insanity, but not all of them. When you start the program, you are notified that the parallel configuration is incorrect, but it can be corrected in a number of ways, such as below.
Parallel configuration is incorrect: what does this mean?
The Windows operating system, when prompted with the message “Parallel configuration is incorrect,” automatically tells you what needs to be done to diagnose it. The notice window indicates that additional information about the reasons can be found in the additional information log. If the program does not do this, you can quickly use the sxstrace.exe command, which allows you to determine which specific modules have an incorrect parallel configuration.
To diagnose the reason why sxstrace.exe fails, you need to do the following:
- Run the command line as administrator;
- Viconati this command: sxstrace trace /logfile:sxstrace.etl
- Then run the program, which indicates that the parallel configuration is incorrect. When you are notified of your favor, press “OK” and turn to the command row;
- Viconati in the command line: sxstrace parse /logfile:sxstrace.etl /outfile:sxstrace.txt
Restore your respect: If necessary, you can change the path to the etl log and the subname of the txt file.
After completing the descriptions of the actions, you will no longer need to open the created txt file using Notepad or another text editor and read the results.
The parallel configuration is incorrect: how to correct it
To conclude the diagnosis, described above, is not at all obligatory, but most often it allows you to figure out the reason for the guilt of the death that appears. To fix the problem, the message “Parallel configuration is incorrect” no longer appears when programs are launched, it is often enough to resolve the conflict between Windows and the Visual C++ package or make changes to the registry. Let's take a look below at the options.
Parallel configuration is incorrect via Visual C++
When a game and program are installed, most often an additional software package is installed on the computer along with them. This package may contain the libraries Visual C++ 2008, Visual C++ 2010, etc. If they conflict with Windows, the message “The parallel configuration is incorrect” will appear. In such a situation, you can correct the decision like this:
After this statement “Parallel configuration is incorrect” is not to blame for turbovat.
Restore your respect: If after installing the above described instructions, the program, when you start it, appears to have crashed, try to reinstall it.
Parallel configuration is incorrect due to a change in the registry
Another reason for the error “Parallel configuration is incorrect” appears is due to a problem in the registry. If the versions of the libraries installed behind the system are different from the remaining installation options, there may be problems that appear.
To resolve this problem, launch the Registry Editor. To do this, press Windows + R on your keyboard and enter the command in the “Windows” window regedit. The registry editor opens, which you need to follow:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE – SOFTWARE – Microsoft – Windows – CurrentVersion – SideBySide – Winners - x86_policy.9.0.microsoft.vc90.crt_(various letters and numbers) - 9.0
For which section you will see the value “For cleaning” and two parameters. Please ensure that the name of the parameter is consistent with the procedure. If the names do not match, change the values after washing so that they are identical to the parameter name.
Literally for days I have had a problem with my windows. I think by now you have already understood the name of the statistics. When installing one of your favorite games on your PC, you will automatically install C++ and DirectX. The installation was successful. However, when starting the program, I received a system notification about the error, but it was not possible to start the program, because its parallel configuration is incorrect, etc.
In 90% of cases, this problem arises through conflicts and the absence of necessary Visual C++ components. Shvidshe for everything, the very existence. If, when installing programs or games, you unchecked the checkboxes about installing additional software, then it turns out that all the system libraries and components necessary for correct operation were not installed. This could have been the case as it happened in my case, simply by skipping the installation of these components.
It turns out to be even simpler.
Another solution
How did I write this? The descriptions of the methods help with 90% of losses, and those with the other 10th. Read below.
Don't forget about the end of our notice about the removal: "Additional data is located in the additional data log, or use the command line program sxstrace.exe to remove additional data." Let's run our sxstrace program. You need to run it in the command line running as administrator.
How to launch the console, type the following:
Enter the command sxstrace trace -logfile:sxstrace.etl
Without closing the console, run the program with a smile. Then just close the notification about the amend.
In the command line enter sxstrace parse -logfile:sxstrace.etl -outfile:sxstrace.txt
Open the sxstrace.txt file itself
In this file you can find out about the battery capacity and the required version of Visual C++ components. Feel free to go to the Internet and download, install, re-enable and launch our program. As a result, everything can be earned efficiently!
Standard configuration of software packages - program configuration. It is specific for the skin platform. The configuration function includes:
- synchronization of processes;
- collection of results;
- divided the robots;
- launch ta in.
Vikorist programs use a method of parallel data processing, which allows you to simultaneously save a bunch of actions.
During regular use of a program, a situation arises when the program does not start and displays the message: “The program could not be started because its parallel configuration is incorrect.”
Cause I'll show
The nature of the compromise can be assumed, knowing that the development of additives occurs in the middle class with a different set of tools. Most often, corrupted files are found in C++ libraries (Microsoft Visual C++ redistributable).
For the most important task, launching the program is quickly supported by a program configuration diagnostic program. The command line program is to know the problematic manifesto. The task of the correspondent is to update the stated manifests (system components).
Program command:
Sxstrace trace sxstrace parke
In the output logs, behind the word "Permission" or "Error" there is a known defective component. Our mission is to renew him.
Updating algorithm
Let's carry out the algorithm for updating the launch of programs:
- To prevent problems while the operating system update is being installed, set the system to be ready before the update is ordered. We select the version according to our architecture.
- Now we can turn off the middle part of the program by reinstalling Microsoft Visual C++. Supported by MS Visual C++ with SP1 update package, which indicates the capacity of the installed operating system. First, you need to install the downloaded version:
- identify the problematic program;
- remove the existing Visual C++ redistributable package;
- restart the system;
- install the Visual C++ package;
- re-engineer the car.
- Including changes to the middle set of tools and programming. For this you need to reinstall the .NET Framework:
- We want the component as ordered;
- The previous version is visible;
- we update the system registry and reinstall it;
- We install the attraction package.
- We install the addendum by clicking the order.
- We are re-decorating the computer.
Most often, manipulations are dominated by mischief.
Additional possibilities for solving a task
What the update didn’t help:
- You can quickly access the system update point - create a withdrawal.
- If this task does not help with the task at hand, you will have to resort to the last resort - reinstalling the operating system. Can be placed on top of the base. This may result in the loss of problematic files, which may increase the duration of the problem. It’s better to re-install with the original format.
To install the operating system, a licensed distribution kit is required so that other robots do not have problems with the installation:
- drivers;
- software products;
- in strange fonts too.
Please! Do not use third-party assemblies like Zvir, lDimm, etc.

When launching programs, most often old ones, computer users sometimes encounter the error “The program could not be started because its parallel configuration is incorrect.” This solution is very similar to another one, in which the description states that there is a different DLL file on the computer every day and still the stinks are eliminated. All programs that run in the Windows environment also use resources represented by system components, Windows, and Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable libraries.
The skin program contains the manifesto, where it is stated which versions of the components are vicorized. When a program starts, Windows reads the manifest, and then looks for the required components and the missing ones, resulting in a complete error. For example, in the manifest of the program that is launched, it is indicated that it is Microsoft Visual C++ 2008. If the system has a current version, Windows will try to find the required library from the older version. When this often results in conflict, the result is a compromise due to the wrong configuration.
Reinstalling Microsoft Visual C++
The most important cause of the problem is a conflict between MSVC components, versions 2008 and 2010. The easiest and most obvious way to fix it is to reinstall it. Go to “Programs and Components”, select the problematic program first, then find the list of Microsoft Visual C++ packages of the specified versions and remove them.
Restore your computer. Then download from the official website www.microsoft.com required versions (find the easiest way via Google) and install them successively.
Please note that the problem may not only be related to versions 2008 and 2010; it may be necessary to re-install all packages. If the system has current MSVC packages, and the versions are from 2005 to 2015, download and install them. Restart your computer, reinstall the program, run it and see if it crashed. In most cases, installing/reinstalling MSVC poses a problem. When reinstalling, it is recommended to reinstall the NET Framework component (see the Microsoft website).
Analysis of the manifesto
To avoid having to re-install all versions of MSVC, you can quickly download the console utility sxstrace.exe, which allows one to analyze the manifesto and understand which component itself causes the conflict. To launch the command line as an administrator, enter the following command in it:
sxstrace trace -logfile:D:/sxsTrace.etl
As a result of the data transfer, the data will be saved in the file sxsTrace.etl to the root of drive D. Now we can convert the file into a text document that is easy to read. For this purpose I will use the command:
sxstraceparse -logfile:D:/sxsTrace.etl -outfile:D:/sxsTrace.log
Open the text document and find a row with the elements “Reminder” or “ERROR”.
The best way to look in the results block is to find the row that starts with INFO. It will indicate the version of Microsoft Visual C++ required to run your program. If the file version is specified in the programs and components of the day, please install it.
With an active PC malware, users may experience unpleasant situations, for which another game or program may simply start, showing a warning message. Today in this statistic we will see a broad warning - “The program could not be started because its parallel configuration is incorrect”
There are two most effective methods that help eliminate the problem that occurs when running programs in Windows.
- Reinstalling Microsoft VISUAL C++;
- Correction of the registry.
Fixing parallel configuration by reinstalling Microsoft VISUAL C++
The first method is very simple and quick. It won’t take a lot of time away from you, and it also won’t ask for any deep knowledge in the computer field. You will need a simple reinstallation of the program from the previous settings.
Even often, programs and games do not start, we can see the parallel configuration through the insanity of installing versions of the system library Visual C++ 2008 or Visual C++ 2010. We will install them again.
For this you need to go to "" and select there " Program and components«.
Next to the list of installed programs you will see those shown in the image below, and Microsoft Vusial C++ 2005, Microsoft Vusial C++ 2008 and Microsoft Visual C++ 2010, Microsoft Vusial C++ 2015 and Microsoft Vusial C++ 2013 in X64 and X68 versions.
Visual C libraries in the list of installed programs
In the near future, you will restart your computer and download 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 program, as you saw the message “The program could not be started, the parallel configuration is incorrect.”
Added to the Register
This method is much more advanced than before. We appreciate the utmost importance and strict adherence to instructions.
Respect! All operations with the registry are performed at your own risk. It is recommended to set a renewal control point before starting.
Launch the “Windows” window using the key combination “ Win"+"R" and enter the command " regedit«.
Combination of Win+R buttons on the keyboard
The Registry Editor opens. You need to go the other way, opening the folders on the left side of the window:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE – SOFTWARE – Microsoft – Windows – CurrentVersion – SideBySide – Winners – x86_policy.9.0.microsoft.vc90.crt_(various letters and numbers) – 9.0
After moving along the designated path, 3 parameters will appear on the right side of the window. The first one will be the mother’s name “(For getting married)”, and the other two will be the digital names.
So, the value axis of the parameter “(Behind the process)” must be consistent with the name of the remaining parameter in this folder. If this is not the case, then you need to change the values of the “Behind the Washing” parameter to the values corresponding to the previous name of the remaining parameter in the folder by double-clicking on the new one.
Type of value and name in the windows registry
Now cross the path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE – SOFTWARE – Microsoft – Windows – CurrentVersion – SideBySide – Winners – x86_policy.8.0.microsoft.vc80.crt_(various letters and numbers) – 8.0
You can do the same by reversing the type of parameter value after entering the name of the remaining parameter in the folder. And if the stench appears, change the value of the parameter “(Before cleaning)”.
After all manipulations, reboot the computer and try to launch the program that showed the error “The program could not be launched because its parallel configuration is incorrect.”
