Maybe is the same thing, read the entire topic. For me there's 2 options to make it work, the one on the topic and another that I found later:
-Open notepad
-Paste:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
<noInheritable></noInheritable>
<assemblyIdentity type="win32" name="Microsoft.VC80.CRT" version="8.0.50727.762" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b"></assemblyIdentity>
<file name="msvcr80.dll"/>
<file name="msvcp80.dll"/>
</assembly>

Save as "Microsoft.VC80.CRT.manifest" at powder toy folder.
Make sure that the C++ 2010 package is installed.

Doesn't want to run
