Windows® 8 Cliffs of Dover Fix (is here).

[sYk0]

@theleif, do you have Visual Studio (C++ Express) 2010 installed on your PC?
The only info I can find (on msvcr100.dll & msvcp100.dll) that have those version numbers (10.00.40219.325) is from a Visual Studio 2012 Service Pack 1 update.

There seems to be a lot of issues (particularly with games) with that version of the .dll (not sure if it's just coincidence).

Please open up the Command Prompt (as Administrator) and run the System File Checker (you can see the parameter below in bold red), just to be sure no system files have been tampered with.
