Has anyone come across this one before:

Activation context generation failed for "C:\Program Files (x86)\Audacity\audacity.exe".Error in manifest or policy file "" on line . A component version required by the application conflicts with another component version already active. Conflicting components are:. Component 1: C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\manifests\amd64_microsoft.windows.common-controls_6595b64144ccf1df_6.0.14393.953_none_42151e83c686086b.manifest. Component 2: C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\manifests\x86_microsoft.windows.common-controls_6595b64144ccf1df_6.0.14393.953_none_89c2555adb023171.manifest.

It would seem someone has in both Win 7 and 10 - https://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=95294

Do you have the latest version of MS Visual C++ installed for the version of the program you are using - i.e. 32 or 64 bit ?

Here is a list of the latest versions - https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads

You will need to click on each download link and check the system requirements to see which is applicable to you.
