Hi guys I finally got around to installing the Universal C Runtime update, as MrMateczko had suggested, then reinstalled the game. Before starting it up, I checked it in DependencyWalker just for the heck of it, and it was no longer trying to access the dlls in the Skype folder. I then tried to fire up the game and....success! I haven't tried actually playing as of yet, so who knows if/when I'll experience the in-game issues countless others have been having - but that's something different entirely. I just wanted to come back here to let you guys know that the game is able to start up now with no problems! Thank you all so much for all of your help. I sincerely appreciate your time and patience... I knew this was the right place to seek help You guys are awesome!

Win98????? Did it ever work???? The want-a-be Windows 10 October 2018 release is quite good when compared to Win98! Haven't forgotten the wasted hours from 20 years ago. Windows 10 for October 2018 if it does get released now is a better vintage of crap! The MacBook will get to live with the next released version of Win 10, the prerelease is already running on it. Just a Wisconsin farm kid who learned to live with the finer aspects of crap.

Thanks @Ruan for the kind words and the info on Sandboxie on Vista. I will restore its entry on the list as ONG, UNS when I'm on my desktop again (can't do it on mobile).

What was the error? The Universal C Runtime (KB2999226) is NOT telemetry/upgrade to Windows 10! It is the API that programs built using Visual Studio 2015/2017 (such as your game) uses. It is required for Windows 7 to support such programs. Dunno who tells it's a bad update, but the source has to be updated. Try installing it to see if the game starts working: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2999226/update-for-universal-c-runtime-in-windows

yes it will be, eventually. this is stored in palemoon.exe and xul.dll.
