Side by Side (SxS) DLL Linkage Problem: "C:\Program Files\nwps\NetScanTools Pro\NSTPRO.exe This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix the problem." - this message from Windows XP was from a NetScanTools Pro v10.93 installation with the latest 8.0.50727.4053 SxS DLLs installed on the machine. We determined the cause to be in the manifest of some of our EXEs and DLLs - the manifest had both 4053 and 8.0.50727.762 linkage listed causing the operating system to get confused. This only affected one user that we know of, but it could easily affect more in the future. The solution was to recompile all portions of the EXEs and DLLs including our customized imported libraries so that 762 linkage disappeared. This only affects the installed version - it does NOT affect the USB Version.

Solution: If you have installed version 10.93, please move to 10.94 or later soon. Use Help/Check for New Version, then login and download the updated version. There are no functional changes to this new release.
