Application failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect

This error appears when I try to run any kind of .exe or .pdf file (so far from what I've come across, these two seem to be the only file types affected).


I know that installing Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable is a common fix to this issue, but I can't run the .exe file for its installation because of this error. So it's a vicious cycle.


The SxSTrace.txt file gives the following:
