Thanks to Shamil, here's what to do:

Install a Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package from Microsoft site:

This adds the required DLLs that are missing on your system.

This post is very old, so I wasn't sure whether to post this reply or create a new post. Anyway, I have a Windows 2008 R2 server, and have installed the Event Log Monitor 1.9.2. I've installed the Visual C++ 2005 redistributable and yet when I start NagEvLogCtrl.exe I get the "application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect" message. I've also tried using the EventLog-64bit files, restarting service, and still no-go.

Can anyone tell me how to get this working on 2008 R2 server?

Thanks.

PJ.

I have never compiled the Eventlog binary for use on Win2K8 64bit as I do not have a 64bit development environment.

The 64bit Eventlog files were provided by a third party who compiled the source code themselves, so are slightly behind in version. I have not been able to test them but several people have reported that they worked on their systems.

I think that the error message you report is due to trying to run 32bit apps under a 64bit OS?

I have been told that, if you stop the eventlog service and replace the two .exe files with the Eventlog-64 files, then restart the service it should work as expected.

Is there a version for windows 7? I am installing the 1.9.2 version but still get the:

Microsoft visual C++ Runtime Library error

I clicked on the link and downloaded/installed:

Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package (x86)

Still getting the C ++ error. Please advise

I think for later Windows versions (2k3, 7, 8) it will need to be recompiled, and maybe even changed to properly support double-byte character strings.

Unfortunately, I do not have a windows development environment for anything later than WinXP 32bit. The 2k3 64bit binaries were compiled by a third party for separate distribution.

If any Windows developer who has the necessary development environment wants to adopt the project, I'd be open to the idea.
