Workarounds:

It sounds like one of our support .dll files may have become corrupted or Windows is having a hard time accessing it.

I found some information on that condition here, under help for Chrome, when searching for "not designed to run on windows or contains an error":

According to the information there, your hard drive may simply be heavily fragmented. You can scan and defrag by following the instructions here:

http://www.gccs.net/scan.htm

After that, reboot your system.
It still doesn't work!!!!!!!
Every time I search for info on this error message, the results show me that the error contains a program or DLL name. Can you post the exact error message you're seeing?
sure, here it is "C:\Windows\32\MSVCIRT.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or software vender for support" that what it says exactly like that...
msvcirt.dll is a file BYOND needs to run. There is a good resource on how to fix this issue here:

i tried all the things they said to do, and it still doesn't work...
