mmm... last time I saw the side-by-side error, someone was trying to run a game instance that had been compiled for debug. The trouble is that the debug dlls aren't in the VC redistributable. That means you need to have MSVS installed, or else have a release binary.
Where did you get the .exe, Godless? Was it one of Dagoth's releases, or something a friend build for you? If it's one of Dagoth's then I'm barking up the wrong the tree with this. If not, try the official release and see if that works.
