Hello there, kind people of GOG.com / THQ Nordic
First I'd like to express my gratitude for having one of my all-time favorites updated for modern systems, I'm especially happy for the demo level which is great and ties in nicely with the main adventure. (I had the demo installed on my PC together with the earlier GOG release of this game, but I'm grateful nonetheless.)
However I'm experiencing problems which so far have prevented me from playing this new version:
1) Initially it was missing msvcp120.dll, I searched for it online and downloaded it into the main folder of the game
2) Then I got another error message telling me the game failed to start correctly because of code 0xc000007b (see the attached image)
I tried a number of suggestions I found online (restarting the computer, reinstalling Visual C++ Redistributables), but none of them worked for me. It's mildly annoying as the pevious release at least worked somewhat reliably on my computer running Win7 x64 (with occasional freezes where only killing the task helped, but I could still finish the game) and it also had a nice fan-made widescreen patch. I still have that installer saved on an external hard drive, but I'd prefer if I could somehow make this one function properly.
My computer is a Lenovo ThinkPad T420 laptop with an Intel Core i5-2540M processor running @ 2.60GHz, 8GBs of RAM and an integrated Intel HD 3000 graphics card, running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit with all the latest updates installed.
Any and all help is appreciated!
