I don't see anything...no image or message. Without knowing the exact error, be sure to install the 2019VCRun installation for the Microsoft VC runtimes. Also be sure that the DirectX 9 is the latest update with either directx_Jun2010_redist.exe, or the Microsoft web installer dxwebsetup, because 9.1c43 is needed.

Oh, strange - I pasted an image screenshot, it doesn't appear to you?
Let me follow your instructions first, then I'll report back to see if it works. Ty for the reply dude.
Update: I have deleted everything and started installing everything anew. Will redo the entire installation instructions then let you know how it goes. I also renamed the Maelstrom engine folder to Maelstrom as shown in the PDF file.
