As for the XML error, it looks like the element on line 30 is not terminated properly. You may want to try throwing a slash onto the end of that element declaration

XML

<add key="LOCALITY" value="Marcinelle" />

In regards to the side-by-side error; Google has a few results for that message, and reading through some of them suggests that the problem may actually be in the C++ installation or registration.
