Here's one "possible" solution from the Sony Vegas forum.
HTH.
**********************************
The cause for this failure was a messed up installation of the
"Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable" on my system. For some
reason, that will remain a mystery to all of us, a run-time component of
that installation was missing. Vegas and DVDA rely on that one for their
installation and subsequent execution.
The fix was a complete uninstall of the "Microsoft Visual C++ 2005
Redistribution" component. That allows the Vegas and/or DVDA
installation kit to re-install it completely.
