Using Crystal Reports 2011 and getting an error for crw32.exe: The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail.

We used to have Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable (Version 8.0.61001) on a Microsoft 2008 R2 server. We removed that version of C++ and we not get the error that is specified in my question.

There are other versions still available on the server:
