For @Iacomus_Maximus and @ChrisHill ... can you let me know if you are able to run this version, or are you still getting error 126?
126 indicates that one of the pre-requisite dependencies is not found. Could be a VC runtime file, or MMExt, or it could be permissioning. If you are feelubng inquisitive - download
Process Monitor and run it whilst trying to start Orbiter. You should get a ton of data, including file not founds that are legitimate (as it searches the path for dependencies, etc), but this will get us closer to the problem. If you want, I'll run the same for comparison.

Quick tutorial on how to capture the ProcMon data.
1. Download and unzip the ProcessMonitor.zip from the link above.
2. Run procmon.exe.
3. Run orbiter and recreate the problem, then exit orbiter if it didn't crash first.
4. In Process Monitor, File and Capture Events and confirm that the tick mark goes off alongside Capture Events.
5. Filter, Filter... "Process Name" "contains" "orbiter" then "Include" ... Add, Apply, then...
6. "Operation" "begins with" "Reg" then "Exclude" ... Add, Apply, then...
7. "Operation" "is" "ReadFile" then "Exclude" ... Add, Apply, OK. (You should have 1000-3000 lines now showing in the filter (see the status line on the bottom of the window).)
8. File, Save, choose "Events displayed using current filter", select "Also include profiling events", choose "Comma-Separated values", and OK.
9. Zip up the resulting file for upload. It should be less than 60KB if all is good.
