No version of EE will start! Is it missing some other software?

I'm having trouble starting EE on a newly built PC. All versions of EE work fine on my other PCs. I've got all the EE files to run them there, but on the new PC I just get an error message:

(Windows XP) - "This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem"

I upgraded windows to Vista and got:

(Vista) - "The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect"

I suspect I'm missing some kind of "dependant" software that gets installed in the background.... but what?

Some advice, or at least a checklist of software to install please!

The other systems which work fine are:

laptop - Win 8.1 (preinstalled as Win 8 )

Desktop - Win 10 (installed over Win 7 which was on a home built system)
