Answer

You can receive this message if your Windows system does not have the most up-to-date Microsoft Runtime libraries installed. Download and install the following:

Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package MFC Security Update

Note: Make sure you download and install the 32-bit, or x86, redistributable package. The file name to download is vcredist_x86.exe (2.6 MB).
