The application ships msvcp71.dll, so it can depend on very version specific behavior.
I did the oposite to ?proove? that it is independent on that specific version. I took the fear installation, removed its msvcp71.dll & msvcr71.dll and tried to install it on win8.1 64bit with win8.1's default msvcp71.dll. It worked without any problem.
c:\Windows\SysWOW64\msvcp71.dll v7.10.3077.0 SHA1: c8ccb04eedac821a13fae314a2435192860c72b8 *msvcp71.dll
FEAR's msvcp71.dll v7.10.2292.0 SHA1: d910576c6d62ad16de06aa4df96ab1e89260b7a5 *msvcp71.dll
Maybe such mystery bug could attract Focht's attention ;) for deeper look.
