PerformancePoint dashboard designer start issue says "Application cannot be started. Contact the application vendor"

Hi All,

when i was configuring SharePoint 2013 with Power View, after installing and configuration done on a Bi Site tried to open PerformancePoint designer.

but it was uninterrupted with a popup message saying :

After googling for several hours the root cause has happened due to the October CU's

Issue:

After the SharePoint 2013 October 2013 cumulative update (CU) the PerformancePoint 2013 dashboard designer fails to start and gives error "Application cannot be started.  Contact the application vendor."

Cause:

The dashboard designer files were not signed correctly during the CU build process.

Workaround:
download PPS.zip file

Backup these files on all your SharePoint servers:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web ServerExtensions\15\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\ppsma\1033\Designer.Application

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web ServerExtensions\15\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\ppsma\1033\DesignerInstall\Designer.exe.manifest

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\ppsma\1033\DesignerInstall\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Runtime.dll

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\ppsma\1033\DesignerInstall\Microsoft.PerformancePoint.Scorecards.Client.dll

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\ppsma\1033\DesignerInstall\Microsoft.PerformancePoint.Scorecards.DesignerPlugins.dll

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\ppsma\1033\DesignerInstall\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.dll

Replace the files above with the files contained in the PPS.zip attached to this blog post.
