You probably don't have the Visual Studio 2008 runtime installed. We couldn't force our AIR installer to include the VS redist installer and sublaunch it, so per the release notes you may need to download and install it yourself. Please see the release notes for a link to the installer from Microsoft.

Does this mean we have to spend a fortune on Visual Studio software to fix this problem or is there a free download which puts it right? I couldn't find the link you referred to... probably looking in the wrong place but if you can tell me where to look that'd be very helpful as I've had exactly the same problems.
