Services fail to start with:

Error 14001: The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect

 

Environment:

QlikView 

 

Resolution:

Side by side errors are generic. They point to issues such as .dll or configuration file corruption.

The Microsoft tool Sxstrace tool can be used to identify the root cause:

  1. run an administrative command prompt
  2. enable tracing with:  sxstrace trace -logfile:sxstrace.etl
  3. reproduce the issue by starting the faulty service
  4. go back to the command prompt and press Enter to end the tracing
  5. convert the tracing into a human-readable format with: sxstrace parse -logfile:sxstrace.etl -outfile:sxstrace.txt
  6. analyze the resulting sxstrace.txt file and, if necessary, send it to Qlik Support.


We provide an example identified in a previous Qlik Support case. In this case, renaming the identified file resolved the issue:

=================

	Application Config File = c:\Program Files\QlikView\Directory Service Connector\QVDirectoryServiceConnector.exe.Config
