Windows xp SP3
Net Framework 3.5
vcredist_x86 installed

The game gets to the point where the Ship Simulator Square Logo is on the screen with the words vstep. And a progres bar at the bottom. Just does not go further. But in the event viewer I get this:
Dependent Assembly Microsoft.VC80.CRT could not be found and Last Error was The referenced assembly is not installed on your system.
*
Resolve Partial Assembly failed for Microsoft.VC80.CRT. Reference error message: The referenced assembly is not installed on your system.
*
Generate Activation Context failed for c:\program files\steam\steamapps\common\ship simulator extremes\channels\ChannelLinker.dll. Reference error message: The operation completed successfully.
*


Anybody any ideas? It seems to me like a framework and VC++ runtime libraries. But thats all installed.
