app wont load SIDE BY SIDE error

While running a third party exe(which was built using c++) from C# code, I found this irritating error. "app wont load SIDE BY SIDE error". 

When I checked my Event Viewer, I found the description as:

infoLog Name: Application
Source: SideBySide
Date: --------
Event ID: ---
Task Category: None
Level: Error

Again, Google saved me from wasting hours over the error. I downloaded and installed the Visual C++ 2008 Runtime x86:
