I guess that the Visual C++ 6.0 is to old. Download and install the newest version and retry. You are on a 64-bit machine which will be some problem for this old software.

It is a bad idea to save the db in program files, because of restricted access to it. The db should be in some user directory. May "All User".

Because you havent provided some explicit error code I had the privilege to guess...
