Check:
- Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1
- Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable
- Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable

The currently requirements are:

Due to other programs also use the next parts the game requires (e.g. Zone Alarm free: Microsoft .NET Redistributable, Microsoft VC++ Redistributable (x86) http://www.windowsuninstaller.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=743#p1158) some might be already installed on your PC.

Many reports are on missing XNA. Just mention this requirement:
