Hey thanks for the report!
Do you happen to be using Windows 7? I did some digging and apparently this error happens a lot with Win7. This game was never built or tested on a Win7 computer so there's a chance that it just doesn't run on it. :/
I don't know if it's possible for a permanent solution but I will look into it.
This site might be helpful for a temporary solution but it's totally understandable if you ignore this:

Sorry for the inconvenience!
