Audacity Forum

Hi All

This fixed this issue for me ...... note that ProgramFilesX86 has write protection .... you need to copy Audacity.exe to the desktop ....do this and copy the modified version back.

As a further note, Even when I remove Visual Studio for Office tools, if you run any MS Office 2010 office app, Visual Studio Tools automagically re installs after boot.

This error occurs on both my Win10 laptop and my Win7 X64 desktop.

I have yet to see any actual issues associated with this.

On my system Event Viewer identified a Side by Side conflict with Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime.

I didn't need VS2010 anymore so I uninstalled it and the error went away.

Audacity seemed to work OK even with VS2010 but I didn't test every feature.
