From the latest AD patch readme, see below.

I had to install vcredist to make the applet work when i patched.

Do you have VC library version 8.0.50727.762 in your system?

[al_b · Accepted solution]

From another forum that complains to missing the same library:

You are missing the Visual C++ 2005 Sp1 Runtime (x86):

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=200b2fd9-ae1a-4a14-984d-389c36f85647&displaylang=en

Download and install it and you can run the application.
