Side by Side errors in the system event log on XP SP3 machines after removal of dot net 2.0/Sep11 errors

    After removal of dot net 2.0 we noticed side by side errors in the event logs with various Symatec related entries
    this is one of them:
    SidebySide Event id: 59
    Generate Activation Context failed for C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\ccL608.dll. Reference error message: The operation completed successfully.
    Any ideas ? as anyone see this?
    We can fix it by repairing the Symatec Sep 11 installation within the add remove....I am looking to prevent it though

    thanks

    Removing that framework breaks the product.

    Well...ok..i think I figured that out...but why would it rely on a certain version only !? the last version installed etc...how do I get that details?

    thanks

    and I dont have any hard data to back it up is that during an install we register to use the DLLs (and etc) of the current .net framework version.

    If you remove that version then the DLLs that  the SEP client are trying to use aren't the same one that is registered and can fail in some awkward ways.

    That is why 'repair' through add/remove programs cures the problem, we re-register which version of .net we are using to the new, current version on the system.
