• To open the Registry Editor, click the Start button and type “regedit.exe” (without the quotation marks) and press the ENTER key. If you see the User Account Control dialog box appear, click Continue.
  
• On the left side, expand the tree structure until you find the registry key that starts with "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMPONENTS\Winners\x86_policy.9.0.microsoft.vc90.crt_".
  
• Expand the key above.
  
• Below that key, you should see a 9.0 key. Select the 9.0 registry key.
  
• In the right pane, make note of the number you see in the Data column for the row where the Name is set to (Default), in case you need to revert to this number later.
  
• Look through the list of numbers in the Name column and find the highest number.
  
• Double-click the (Default) string value to open the Edit String dialog box.
  
• Replace the number in the "Value data" box with the highest number you saw in step #6. Click OK.
  
• On the File menu, click Exit to close the Registry Editor.
  
• After completing step #8 the issue may be resolved. If you continue to see the same problem restart the computer. You may also need to follow the steps below to correct the file association error message.

After making this change to the registry you may still see file association error message. To correct that part of the problem, follow the remaining steps:

10. Locate the Access executable file (msaccess.exe). By default, on a 32-bit version of Windows this is located in "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\ folder. On a 64-bit version of Windows this is located in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\ folder.

11. Rename msaccess.exe to msaccess.old.

12. Start the installer to create a version of msaccess.exe. To do this, start Access using the Start Button, All Programs, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Access 2010.


OK THIS SOLVES THE PROBLEM !!!!!!
GOOD LUCK!!

Just found this site: http://support.micro....com/kb/2525435
This WILL work and the problem will be fixed.

I get the "Critical Error" message when trying to start.

I don't like fiddling about in registry files.  Wargaming should just get their act together and serve the customers.

Please contact the mod/add-on developer regarding a new update for your favorite mods.
Sorry, but I can`t find the place or person whom to ask about this problem I stil have.
Just for some advices: I can`t find FOLDER in Office14, I don`t have it!
It is also not possible to change msaccess.exe for  msaccess.old - I`m not a specialist.  :(
It says: See log file. Were shoulf I find it?!
And why should I do anything to solve this problem, made by somebody?
I`m not alone with this!
