I didn't purchased yet the GOG version of the game, as I already got it (but I'll take Gog version too, for convenience), but I think I can already share this tip: if the game fail to start on Windows 8 or 10, it can be a Direct Play problem.

Go on Programs and Features and click on "Turn Windows features on or off" (on the left), then go to "Legacy components", double click it, check the Direct Play checkbox and click Ok.

That's all, I hope this will help

Thanks, but clicking Ok makes an error, my Windows10 doesn't want.

As an aside, if you're on Windows 7 like I am try running the "Launch Hidden and Dangerous 2" shortcut in the game folder in compatibility mode for Windows XP SP3. This fixed my crash on launch on Windows 7.
