Here's a solution that I read on another forum where the user got the same error while running Bioshock. See if it works for you.
Uninstall AVG, if you have it installed.
Uninstall the VC++ redistributable from Programs and Features in Control Panel.
Reboot your PC.
Reinstall the VC++ redistributable. Should be present in the game disc. If not, you can download it from Microsoft's website.
Reboot the PC.
Now, try the game again. If necessary, reinstall the game.
