I recently downloaded Trackmania 2 beta, but when I try to start up Maniaplanet, it comes up with a message:
The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0150002). Click on OK to terminate the application.

I dont have microsoft office 2003 installed on my computer, and i have the service pack 2.
I got a version of windows which had the service pack integrated.

I found on a french forum something like this.
It means that you need to install this package.

Warning : I don't work for Microsoft, so make a saved of your hard disk before install the package. (The package comes from the original website of Microsoft so i think we could trust them).

Try to install the package and tell us if you can launch ManiaPlanet (after reboot your computer).

With the update installed, i can enter Maniaplanet, so we can call this solved.
