Check the Windows Event Viewer to see if a “SideBySide” error is found that looks similar to this:

<Please see attached file for image>

The message will be similar to this:

Activation context generation failed for “C:\Program Files\CA\SCM\x86\liblber.dll”.  Dependent Assembly Microsoft.VC90.CRT.processorArchitecture=”x86”, publicKeyToken=”1fc8b3b9a1e15e3b”, type=”win32”, version=”9.0.21022.8” could not be found.  Please use sxstrace.exe for detailed diagnosis”

This message indicates that the 32-bit Visual C++ 2008 runtimes are missing (even though the 64-bit CA Harvest Software Change Manager Client is installed, both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the runtime are required).

Resolution:
