This application failed to start because it's side-by-side configuration is incorrect....

This is a redirected question from
here
While trying to run YouCam.exe, i encountered the error message,
"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. "
I then searched the forums and installed a slew of updates that mostly VC++ Redistritutable 64-Bit version, DotNetFix etc etc but it still did not work.
I then ran 'Event Viewer' and pulled out the error logs for the YouCam program.
"Activation context generation failed for "C:\Program Files\CyberLink\YouCam\YouCam.exe.Manifest". Dependent Assembly Microsoft.VC80.MFC,processorArchitecture="x86",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",type="win32",version="8.0.50608.0" could not be found.
Please use sxstrace.exe for detailed diagnosis."
I am using a Fujitsu SH760 laptop which is running a Win7 64-bit Enterprise OS.
Note that I do not have the recovery disk.
Please assist and if you require further information, i will try to give it asap.
 Thank You.

I ran sxstrace.exe and here is the log file i obtained. Details as follows,
