What is an electric-heated vest?

Could you do some installation manually, only to be sure, that the installation went successfull? DirectX9 and the VCRedist installation. Both folders are in your installation path. If you don't let the installation overwrite the newer one, you will fail to start the game. For DirectX9 it is an add on. If you have installed directx 12 and you install directx9 you only add files. You don't overwrite them. For Visual C Redistribution I am not into. If you don't want to install the VCRedist files, then you should copy 2 files into your game folder. It belongs in this directory, where the file is. msvcp80.dll msvcr80.dll Both are needed by the file. There are more than one version of each file. Play with them. Copy them to your game folder and start the game. If it doesn't start, then use a higher version. Both are version 8.0 but the minor versions differs a little. I meant 8.0.xx.xxx Whatever the xxx stay for, these givest the minor version of the main version 8.0. Don't play with major version. 8.1 / 8.2 ... / nor 9.0 / 9.1 / ... Then you will definately fail to start the game. These files will be copied into your system folder, where all games can use these files. If you only copy them into your game folder, then only this game can use them. No other game can use these files.
