"I've been using Neoticker RT with IQFeed for two months, and I'm very happy with both of the products (I've had IQFeed for two years with very few complaints). The service from both companies is exceptional." - Comment from Public Forum

"I like you guys better than *******...much more stable and a whole lot fewer issues." - Comment from Philip

"IQ feed works very well, does not have all of the normal interruptions I have grown used to on *******" - Comment from Mark

"Thanks for the great product and support. During this week of high volume trading, my QuoteTracker + IQ Feed setup never missed a beat. Also, thanks for your swiftness in responding to data issues. I was on ******* for a few years before I made the switch over early this year, and wish I had done it a long time ago." - Comment from Ken

"If you want customer service that answers the phone, your best bet is IQFeed. I cannot stop praising them or their technical support. They are always there for you, and they are quick. I have used ****** too but the best value is IQFeed." - Comment from Public Forum

"My broker in Davenport suggested I give you a try as he uses your service and says its the best." - Comment from Bill via RT Chat

"Boy, probably spent a thousand hours trying to get ******* API to work right. And now two hours to have something running with IQFeed. Hmmm, guess I was pretty stupid to fight rather than switch all this time. And have gotten more customer service from you guys already than total from them… in five years." - Comment from Jim

Author	Topic: iqconnect side-by-side error message (4 messages, Page 1 of 1)
orbwen -Interested User- Posts: 12 Joined: Feb 5, 2011	Posted: Feb 5, 2011 09:47 PM Msg. 1 of 4 Sorry -- brand new user of the API. When I try to start iqconnect or the diagnostics tool from a DOS window or windows start menu I get this error message: "The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail." Looking for the error message online, there are no posts in these forums, but a few on gaming sites. It looks like it could be related to some needed libraries in windows? I followed the steps in the quick-start guide but am kind of stuck here. Any advice? Using windows7 and ran the API client installer, agreed when it asked to also download and run the iqfeed installer. No errors reported during installation.

This should give you the information needed to launch, initialize and login to IQFeed from your program. Jay Froscheiser DTN

There isn't much to go wrong: run IQConnect.exe with appropriate options. Turns out there is a library required by the IQFeed applications that is not included. Any windows 7 users will need to get the "x86" version (middle link) of this library from microsoft: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=766a6af7-ec73-40ff-b072-9112bab119c2 Hopefully this will help the next windows 7 user...

Something must have gone wrong with the installation during the IQFeed install or you already had a corrupted installation of it on your system (IQFeed doesn't attempt to install it if we detect you already have it installed). Reinstalling very well might have fixed it for you.
