Minion does not install right; doesn't boot
 

EDIT: Apparently, my computer is made out of derp and failure. It was somehow updating its x32 version. Took me a moment to realize this (why does my x64 computer even bloody have this?) and manually download the C++ x64 package.

I'm now beating my computer with a stick for its silliness while it installs updates for Minion. You can disregard my thread. At least now I have an account here for future use!

If anyone else runs into this: Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2010; x64 Package


Old Post:
When trying to open Minion, I get the following errors in sequence.

Have tried reinstalling. I'm sure I'm screwing something basic up, but I can't imagine what. I installed as Administrator. Am running Windows 8.1. I checked and my Microsoft Visual C++ IS up to date according to Microsoft. I am willing to readily accept that it is lying to my face, though.

Just follow the directions in this answer and it should get you up and running. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/...dll-is-missing
