AutoUpdater will not run for anyone I know

[Yrendar]

Just an FYi, I've refered 5 or 6 people to eq2maps. We can all get the maps to work in game manually without any problems BUT none of us can get the autoupdater to work.

When we download and run EQ2MAP_Updater.exe we get a windows application error "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Click ok to terminate the application".

This seems to happen to anyone I refer to the site. Is there any way to resolve this?
