If you try to run PeopleTools 8.50 from a file server, or if you copied the directory to your home directory and tried to launch it, you may get the following error:

The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect.  Please see the application event log for more detail.

This happens because PeopleTools 8.50 is developed using the Microsoft Visual C++, and the C run time files must be installed on your workstation or the PeopleTools client programs will not run.

Here's how to fix it:

1. Go to PS_HOME/setup/vcredist
2. Run vcredist_x86.exe

Once the installation completes, you shouldn't have any trouble firing up Config Manager or App Designer.
