PortableApps Platform 10.0.1 will not install because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. What does that mean and how do I fix it?

I have downloaded the Suite version 1.6.1 and it installed OK.

Often sxstrace errors are due to a missing or corrupted MS C++ redistributable package on the computer. Downloading and installing the appropriate redistributable package often resolves these types of issues.
Also, look at your computers Application and System event logs for clues.
In any case the sxstrace log will typically provide pretty good details on the cause.
Side by side configuration errors occur because a referenced assembly is missing from winsxs folder. Determine the missing assembly and repair or reinstall it. The sxstrace tool should identify what is missing.
That's not the correct installer; try redownloading it.
