Good morning! I feel tired... I spent many hours in the past 2 days troubleshooting a visual novel about trains due to a stupid, illogical (from my PoV, as everything seemed to be okay) error. And since I didn't want to reinstall windows from scratch, I used a virtual machine and it works at last...
You guys won't believe that the default Internet Explorer on a fresh Win7 SP1 install doesn't open the main google.com website, it's so old... I had to add LTS version of Firefox to even browse internet in there.

A few Windows updates and runtime libraries installs and the VN (which is available here in DLs on LC) works.
