Activation context generation failed for MFC80U.DLL in HippoEDIT - sxs


Giveaway of the Day offered a free 32-bit version of HippoEdit, which is supposed to work on Win 10 64-bit machines.

I installed (and also uninstalled and reinstalled), but each time I use it, the Event Viewer generates this error message many times:

Activation context generation failed for "C:\Program Files (x86)\HippoEDIT\MFC80U.DLL". Dependent Assembly Microsoft.VC80.MFCLOC,processorArchitecture="x86",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",type="win32",ver sion="8.0.50608.0" could not be found. Please use sxstrace.exe for detailed diagnosis.

For what it's worth, there's a very small file in C:\Program Files (x86)\HippoEDIT\ called Microsoft.VC80.MFC.manifest. However a search in c:\ for Microsoft.VC80.MFCLOC finds nothing.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

KB4025339 Fails Install 0x80070564

Thanks
I am trying Eagle 51's suggestions now. Windows Update troubleshooter found a bunch of errors and fixed all but one.The update is trying to download KB4025339 again. I'll see what happens. At step one troubleshooter finishes with one error unresolved "Potential Windows Update Database Error Detected-Not Fixed". Windows update stalled at 0%.

At step 2 same troubleshooter error. The KB finished a new download failed to install.
Did step 3 KB has downloaded but fails to install.

If Eagle's suggestion doesn't work I'll try EdTittel's suggestion

Tried bothe Eagle & Ed 's suggestions - do not work. Anyone else?

I have noticed that the latest update for my nvidia drivers has failed to update. Wondering about that!
