I can't get that application (purchased from Steam on Dec. 30th 2011) to work on my Windows XP.
[Edit - Update]I removed ALL .NET versions and Redistributables completely, then reinstalled the application, did not work. I installed VC++ 2008 SP1 Redistrib. and VC++ 2010 SP1 Redistrib., did not work.
((Now I've got 20 "vcredist_x86.exe" files in my download folder!))
Update:
I installed VC++ 2005 SP1 Redistrib., did not work.
((Now I've got 21 "vcredist_x86.exe" files in my download folder))
Update:
I made EVERY possible Windows Update.
Including Windows Search, all .NET Security updates and stuff.
Everything.
Still doesn't work.
Been busy with this issue for 12 hours+.
Update:
My mscoree.dll version is: 4.0.31106.0
Update:
The version 2 from this website does exactly the same error.
[/Edit]
I have Windows XP SP3 Prof.
NVidia GTS 450 graphics card.
Uninstalled and re-installed steam (and got kinda angry when I recognized that
this uninstalled ALL my steam games also)
uninstalled and re-installed the software
completely removed the software
re-installed the vc and .net files from the folder
installed / repaired VC++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable and 2010 SP1 Redistributable
Made all updates more than once from the MS Update website.
Removed and reinstalled VC++ 2005, 2008, 2010 Redistributables SP1 and other.
Made a reinstall (repair) of .NET 4 Complete.
Tried it with a new user, and with administrative rights for Steam.exe and
UniverseSandbox.exe.
Re-Installed the latest NVidia video driver.
I've also tried the safe mode of the game.
I've also deleted those steam config-files.
And I've tested the .NET version with the tool you posted. It said, the .NET
installation was verified successful.
I've installed the latest DirectX.
I let Steam check the game files. Successful.
I've spent many hours on trying to fix this myself.
I still get always the very same error message, please HELP!!
