Lightroom 2.5 Fails due to Visual Runtime Error

Question

I just migrated to  64 bit Windows 7 and have installed LR (v2.5) three times and it starts to open but I get the following message:
"Microsoft Visual C++ Library Runtime Erro - Program D:\Abobe Lightroom\Lightroom.exe, This application has requested the Runtime to Terminate in an unusual way. Please contact the application support team"
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling MS Visual C, running chkdsk /f etc and nothing in working. Any suggestions on how do I correct this? Your help would be much appreciated. All other programs seem to be functioning just fine.
Below is some additional informatuion I captured after I clicked to close LR:
