Question:

Java - application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect

Jun 21 '17 at 07:59

I get the following error with the Chilkat Java DLL on a Windows Server 2008 system:

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: N:\FTP\myApp\chilkat\chilkat.dll: 
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.exe tool for more detail

This uses the 64-bit DLL.

Answer

The solution is to install the 64-bit MSVC90 CRT (runtime redist for VC++ 2008) on the server.

It can be downloaded and installed from here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=15336
