THERE IS NO SUPPORT FOR MOZILLA THUNDERBIRD ! ! ! ! !

 Today I Downloaded and Installed (Mozilla ?) Thunderbird.  --    BIG MISTAKE ! ! 
  I ran (or attempted to run) the [ thunderbird.exe ] file  . . .  and I got >  
(Quote) The application has failed to start because its "side-by-side" 

configuration is incorrect. Please see the event log (NONE) -or- use the command-line [ sxstrace.exe ] tool for more details.

If that is the best that you can do - send my donations back to me !
