Game doesn't run

[unmerged(143260)]

I get an exception as soon as I launch the executable. Running Windows 7 RC.


"The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect"

specifically:

ERROR: Cannot resolve reference Microsoft.VC80.OpenMP,processorArchitecture="x86",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",type="win32",version="8.0.50727.762"





The full exception text and sxstrace output:
