Issues related to .NET or VCRedists usually just make the app CTD without any apparent error, unless they're lacking from the system entirely or unless it's a GRAVE/FATAL exception level error.
We need an exit code or a faulty module name to get somewhere with this.
The error message should have a "more info" button in the bottom left corner, which will open up a white, text-filled, scrollable box. Copy the entire content of that and paste it here.
Shouldn't that come up, you need to look up for the error in your windows' event viewer and paste the details here.
