That is the only thing that will cause that error, so that is the only fix available. So if you get that error, you still don't have the runtimes installed correctly. Anope works correctly for hundreds of other Windows users, including myself. So it has to be something specific to you.
Anope for Windows ONLY works on Windows NT based OS's such as 2000, XP, Vista, 2003, 2008. Anope does NOT work on win9x based OS's including windows95, 98 or ME
