The application has failed to start AutoCAD 2016

[Anonymous]

C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2016\acad.exe

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.

Whenever I start a program I got this error.

I have done uninstallation and re-installation and still this is happening.

Please advise.

Thank you.

WHat I did was I used the Uninstall Tool from the Windows -> All Programs then I re-install the programs AutoCAD Plant3D and AutoCAD Mechanical. Now, I can use my AutoCAD.

Thank you guys for sharing the link. I will consider that in the future.
