I just tried the blizzard downloader for a new WoW install and it dies, 
as well. I will see if I can figure out which vc versions I have, it may 
be something in common for the two game downloaders. The little 
downloader program itself starts up fine, but the large download it 
controls (of the game) crashes partway through every time.
