Skulls of the Shogun Beta does not play

As happy as I was that Skulls of the Shogun is free fro Windows 8, allowing me to finally play your game, I am equally crushed that the game's beta version will not play for me on Steam. I have Windows XP and I meet all of your system requirements. What gives?? When I click "Play" to play the beta version of Skulls of the Shogun the screen says:

Preforming first time setup...
Initializing: msiexec (step 1 of 1)

and then it stops and nothing else happens. Please help me get this sorted. Thanks! I've already written to Steam's Support for help, but I thought I'd let you know as well.

Thanks!

Borut rocks! He set my Windows XP PC straight with a list of downloads, which I will post here for any other XP users who encounter any difficulty getting Skulls of the Shogun to work. And I quote:

There may be issues installing the requirements, you may want to try installing them manually:

DirectX 9.0c: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=34429

.Net 4.0 http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17851
