RE: MSN will not open
Hi, fresh00.
Those redistributables are required for any program that was created using them.
The problem here was most likely that something updated one of the manifests or DLLs in the winsxs folder, resulting in the side by side error received.
The uninstall and reinstall process simply rebooted the linkage used in the winsxs manifests and DLLs.
That's as simple as I can make it, anyway.
At any rate, you do need these redistributables and they shouldn't pose you any further problem. However, if they do, just repeat the solution here or come back looking for help.
Cheers.
