Fixing “The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135)”
When attempting to run Microsoft .Net based applications, like many of those available from http://www.lowesoftware.com, you may get the following error on startup:
The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135)
The cause of this error is that the Microsoft .Net framework is not installed or is damaged in some way. Therefore applications will fail to launch.
To fix this error you can run Windows Update and find the Microsoft .Net framework update to install. Alternatively, you can download the Microsoft .Net Framework directly from Microsoft.
My kingdom for error messages that explain themselves…
Yes, I’ve gotten at least five emails asking me how to fix this problem…
So if anyone ever asks you, just forward them here! :)
It worked out!
Thanks a bunch man!
