Steam version of Construct 2 will not launch

Update: Reinstalling Scirra on Steam after selecting the "beta release" option appears to solve the problem and now I can run it as normal.

Update 2: Now it seems broken again and keeps crashing.

Dear Alex, after spending all day trying to solve the same problem, I solved installing the Microsoft Visual C++ Distributable. My problem was the missing msvcr100.dll:

mpgh.net/forum/186-combat-arms-help/459799-proper-way-fix-msvcr100-dll-msvcr100d-dll-d3dx9_-dll-errors.html

That's something I don't really understand. If something is missing, then why is the user not prompted to download something?

In my case it either crashes or doesn't launch at all. In some software it automatically does that installation as part of the first launch process.

It's also strange how the free version works fine stand-alone but this one doesn't. I thought they were fundamentally the exact same program.

This should be fixed in the latest beta.

Just tried the stable release on Steam today and it works fine now.

Thank you for the help!
