Smart Switch Installation Error: Troubleshooting Message [Samsung, Installation Issues]

Best answers LABEL_AI_GENERATED

How can I fix the Smart Switch installation error that keeps appearing even after downloading the program from different sites?

Fix the error by repairing the Microsoft Visual C++ runtime files, especially the Visual C++ 2008 x86 package and its mfc90u.dll file [#16617907][#16619208] First install the Visual C++ redistributables, then uninstall Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable - x86 and search for mfc90u.dll with Farbar Recovery Scan Tool [#16617907][#16619208] The remaining bad copy was found in C:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft.vc90.mfc_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_9.0.21022.8_none_b81d038aaf540e86\mfc90u.dll; rename it to mfc90u.bck and reinstall the Visual C++ 2008 x86 package [#16619295] If Smart Switch still does not start, replace the mfc90u.dll in C:\Program Files (x86)\Samsung\Kies3\ with the one from system32 [#16619295] After these steps, the program started working [#16635065]

    Yes, it won't hurt.
    After deleting you can "fly" the registry with CCleaner.

    This is still a Microsoft Visual C ++ error.

    System updated?
    All installations went without a problem?

    Try to uninstall MS Visual version 2008 and reinstall.

    After uninstalling, delete the file and then reinstall it.

    Well, I deleted it and wanted to check the registry for any leftovers. I have reinstalled all of them and continue with this message.

    This file is included in the Microsoft Visual C ++ 2008 Redistributable - x86:
    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=10015

    However, even after installation, the error may still be displayed, it is enough that the wrong file is in a different directory than the one to which this update is installed.

    Uninstall Microsoft Visual C ++ 2008 Redistributable - x86 for now
    Download https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/farbar-recovery-scan-tool/
    To the program window, paste: mfc90u.dll
    Click Search Files and place in the attachment the log that will be created after execution.

    Only this left:
    C: \ Windows \ winsxs \ x86_microsoft.vc90.mfc_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_9.0.21022.8_none_b81d038aaf540e86 \ mfc90u.dll change its name to mfc90u.bck

    Install https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=10015 and check if Smart Switch will start, if not try to replace the file from system32 (because it probably installs there) on this:
    C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Samsung \ Kies3 \ mfc90u.dll
