To get a bit of relaxation after the last big battle of Grotesque Tactics 2: Dungeons & Donuts Holy Avatar decides to take a trip off-the-cuff with his Guild of Maidens on a Caribbean island, his recently purchased “Holy Island”. After a rather ungently arrival on the beach they made a gruesome discovery: numerous dead maidens, horribly mutilated, are scattered all over the path to the inside of the island. The Guild of Maidens is afraid that something horrible happened in the maidens camp on the island. Holy Avatar – secretly happy about this twist – is going to investigate what exactly happened with a part of his group, looking for new adven-tures, not knowing what kind of scale this disaster has already taken and what haz-ards are waiting for him and his companions inside the dense woods and caves… OS: Windows XP, Vista, 7 Processor: 2,2 Ghz Dual-Core RAM: 2 GB RAM Graphics Card: nVidia GeForce 5 / FX / ATI Radeon 9500 Serie / ATI X700 or higher

I'm currently trying to launch the Game on my PC (windows 7, 64 bits, 8800GTX, 4 Go de Ram, dual core 3Ghz) but when I try to do so I'm comming up with an error:

With desura, I got the following error message:

Failed to launch item.
Failed to create Holy Avatar(full name here) process [6: F:/Desura/path/to/exe]

Without desura (probably not be the exact message, cause it's a translation of mine):

The application couldn't start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. For more info, look at the event application log or use the command line tool sxstrace.exe.

I tried to watch both, but what I found here was of no help for me. I can post those info if needed.

So does someone face a similar problem? Or else any idea on how to face it?

EDIT: tried on a second PC, same error.
