Does anyone know a solution to this issue?
Looks like you're missing the required msvc runtime. I thought it installed it itself but I'm not sure.
Without a good deal of computer/hacking knowledge this is going to be difficult to solve. My approach in cases like this is to run procmon.exe from Sysinternals.com. It will show you which files and registry entries the program is trying to open. With a bit of detective work it is almost always possible to infer what is wrong with an installation.
