How to solve "incorrect side-by-side configuration" error when running VC++ app

When I compiled an app by using Visual Studio 2005 Pro on my first PC and ran that app on my second PC. I got the following error:

"The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect ... "

I found the reason. That is because the side-by-side configuration of my first PC was configured differently from the one on my second PC.

How to fix that:
- First of all, check the side-by-side configuration on registry (type regedit on cmd), proceed to the following keys:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SideBySide\Winners\x86_policy.8.0.microsoft.vc80.crt_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_none_e8a8ec119a3821e7

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SideBySide\Winners\x86_policy.8.0.microsoft.vc80.atl_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_none_e8ff9ccd99f7096b

Alternatively, you can check this by using the existing tool on Windows namely Event Viewer (under Control Panel\Administration Tools). On Event Viewer, check errors on Windows Logs\Application and find the appropriate error on your app.

Next, check the Default values of the above keys. They should be the same and have the highest values (the last numbers). Importantly, these values MUST be the same on two PCs.

- Secondly, try to install the correct side-by-side configuration by downloading and installing the latest update from Microsoft website. (see: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2538218 and http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/bulletin/ms11-025).
For example, the side-by-side configuration of the first key on my first PC is 8.0.50727.6195.
I need the update version (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2538218) which has the same value as 8.0.50727.6195.

The problem is solved. When you get the same problem, you can follow my direction.

Hope it helps!

NiuTrans: A Statistical Machine Translation System

Link: http://www.nlplab.com/NiuPlan/NiuTrans.html#introduction

Intro: NiuTrans is an open-source statistical machine translation system developed by the Natural Language Processing Group at Northeastern University, China. The NiuTrans system is fully developed in C++ language. So it runs fast and uses less memory. Currently it has already supported phrase-based, hierarchical phrase-based and syntax-based (string-to-tree, tree-to-string and tree-to-tree) models for research-oriented studies.

Docent - Document-level SMT

Link: https://github.com/chardmeier/docent/wiki

Intro: Docent is a decoder for phrase-based Statistical Machine Translation (SMT). Unlike most existing SMT decoders, it treats complete documents, rather than single sentences, as translation units and permits the inclusion of features with cross-sentence dependencies to facilitate the development of discourse-level models for SMT. Docent implements the local search decoding approach described by Hardmeier et al. (EMNLP 2012).

Fangorn: a system for querying very large treebanks

Link: http://nltk.ldc.upenn.edu:9090/index

Intro: Fangorn is an open source tool for querying very large treebanks, built on top of Apache Lucene.  Fangorn implements the LPath linguistic path language, which has an XPath-like syntax along with linguistically motivated extensions.  Result trees are annotated with the query in order to show how the query matched the tree, and these annotations can themselves be modified and submitted as further queries.

Intel® Threading Building Blocks (Intel® TBB)

Link: http://threadingbuildingblocks.org/

Intro: Intel® Threading Building Blocks (Intel® TBB) offers a rich and complete approach to expressing parallelism in a C++ program. It is a library that helps you take advantage of multi-core processor performance without having to be a threading expert. Intel TBB is not just a threads-replacement library. It represents a higher-level, task-based parallelism that abstracts platform details and threading mechanisms for scalability and performance. 

ACCURAT Toolkit

Intro: The ACCURAT project (http://www.accurat-project.eu/) is pleased to announce the release of ACCURAT Toolkit - a collection of tools for comparable corpora collection and multi-level alignment and information extraction from comparable corpora. By using the ACCURAT Toolkit, users may obtain:

- Comparable corpora from the Web (current news corpora, filtered Wikipedia corpora, and narrow domain focussed corpora);

- Comparable document alignments;

- Semi-parallel sentence/phrase mapping from comparable corpora (for SMT training purposes or other tasks);

- Translated terminology extracted and mapped from bilingual comparable corpora;

- Translated named entities extracted and mapped from bilingual comparable corpora.
