I'm currently having the same issue, but I can't follow the steps above because my PC is incapable of uninstalling 'microsoft visual c++ 2010 x86 redistributable' for some reason. It just throws a tantrum and the uninstalling wizard crashes :S
Edit: Googled how to manually clean up .NET and microsoft redist c++, did so and ran the Buddy Dependancy Installer. Now it works just fine. Thanks!
