"I had this problem on my pre-patched, out of the box version. I ended
up doing a de-install then re-install and I was able to get the program
to run. On the first successful run, the patch was applied and I had no
problems. Running WinXP SP2.
I was also informed that I had to install the .NET framework as I was
doing my initial install."
good luck
