By any chance did you download the 32bit or 64 bit version.I just want to check the problem from a different angle.
64bit for both the game and microsoft visual c++
Did you download it from the game from the app or the website?
the game is from the website while microsoft visual c++ was from your link (and it didn't install it said "unsepctifed error")
What version of windows are you using?
windows 7 ultimate *cought* *cough*
