Audacity 2.0 won't run after installation

[hoikka1]

Hello everyone !
Problem is that Audacity 2.0 won't start at all after a clean installation. Windows gives a warning and error code 14001. OS is Win XP SP3, and I downloaded the installer from here: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/?lang=fi

I didn't find this matter from known issues, neither from this forum..

Here is the warning in english:
"C:\Program Files\Audacity\audacity.exe
This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem."

For 32-bit Windows XP, download Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86). Double-click on the downloaded "C:\vcredist_x86.exe" file to run it and follow the instructions. If you are asked whether you want to uninstall or repair, choose "Repair".

For 64-bit version of Windows XP, please download instead Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x64) then double-click on the downloaded "C:\vcredist_x64.exe" file and follow the instructions as above.

Okay, that worked ! Now Audacity starts. Now I remember that some applications installed the Visual C++ automatically if it's needed. Thank you very much steve !
