and was checking my Windows System Event logs and came across the SideBySide errors.

Is it actually a problem with regard to Audacity functioning correctly?

None that I can see at the moment...
Audacity isn't crashing over it...

Hi,

A temp solution -- this is not my line of work so I'm not responsible if you choose to do what I did. I would appreciate assistance in trying to keep the problem code lines I deleted by commenting them out instead.

Audacity.exe file was edited using trial version of Resource Tuner to remove 6 code lines fm the manifest file as follows:
Make copy of original audacity.exe file and use a temp work space. Open Tuner/open file/drill to manifest/click on English US -- then edit manifest {see CUT**((....))**:CUT}.

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='yes'?>

Save file or save as is -- place edited file in audacity directory. At this time you will need to remove and suggest save the original file somewhere for future use. Rename edited exe or use it as is to start Audacity. A new shortcut will also be needed to match the edited exe file.

Let me know if this helps anyone...........

Hi there, also get this but not particularly worried about the log. Just wondered if it will be addressed for next release.
Thanks for reading!

Has anyone resolved the error message? It doesn't seem to affect anything, but in trying to get support for another app issue, they keep saying that I've got problems with my Windows 10 install. I tried to follow a link in a previous response, but got error doing that.

Appreciate any help!

Audacity 2.1.3 is obsolete. You should upgrade to the current version.
