Doesn't matter. MSVC, only difference that'd cause your issue. Unless you're trying to run on a thumb/network drive...which JONT has issues with.

1) Something I just noticed... why do you have C++2013 (x86) installed two times? And same for (x64), you have it two times.
2) Bupo told you "install Windows Media Player". Have you, really? I gave you a download link but mentionned that it was useful in case you have Windows N, since you haven't, you might have dismissed it. Try this:

Even if he has non-N edition, WMP needs to be enabled. It was disabled in 8 onward. If older versions work but new doesn't, then it means they have WMP (old versions used it too) but NOT MSVC that 2.2 was compiled with (DLLs too).

He showed me this screen, proving he installed them: https://attachments.f95zone.to/2021/08/1361662_1628302389064.png
Maybe it's a faulty installation but we can't follow the hypothesis that he didn't install it at all.

I'd suggest re-installing them or checking his own OS install. 0xc000007b is MSVC/.NET (not applicable here)/DirectX (not applicable here)/WMF-API (Windows Media Foundation API (used for audio, must be manually enabled from Windows 8 ONWARD), supposedly installed?) issues. Only other thing it could be is missing DLLs, such as if they've mucked with the default folder structure.
WMF-API can be enabled through Control Panel > Programs > Turn Windows Feature On: Media Features.

He said he reinstalled Windows so logically he'd have to reinstall the redist.
I think this might be it indeed, faulty installation of MSCV packages.
I noticed that before too, but this part was different for each of them so I thought that was that, but since you pointed it out, I uninstalled them all and just reinstalled.
TBH I did, bec it was on the page as being for N versions of Windows 10, since I used 8.1, I thought this wasn't for the OS I use.
But I've got nothing to lose in trying, so I did now then this happened.
Since I uninstalled and reinstalled C++, I restarted my PC, then tried launching the 2.2 version again, but same error code.
I really appreciate you guys looking into this, thanks.

If you have N you install that pack. Regardless, you must still enable WMF-API. The pack only adds the option for N-only installs but N or not, you must enable it...

No, that's not what you did.
You opened "Jack-o-nine-tails.exe" in the main folder.
He directed you to "Jack.exe" in the folder "engine" which is part of the folder "game".
I have the same output from dependency walker as what you see, so I don't think this is telling us anything. Unfortunate. Thanks for checking.

No no no. There's one chance out of a million that you'll find the legit .dll and not download a trojan.
Your best bet is to follow a guide for this "dll dependency" software, if it's not very intuitive immediately.
Okay, I'll do that..
BTW Bupo said:
Does this look right? just being sure.
Looks OK to me. Here's another idea.
Open the Windows event viewer (it's installed already, you don't need to download anything), find the application log that corresponds to your failed attempt to start the game, and see if the "details" tab gives any useful information (for example, which DLL the error occurred in).
