Like the previous fix author mentioned. Windows vista has some bs stuff with administrator priveleges. In order to really fix the load error, instead of copying files and such, all you have to do is set the actual steam.exe to run as administrator.
1. Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\
2. Locate "steam.exe" and right click.
3. Choose properties.
4. Choose compatibility tab
5. check "Run this program as administrator"
6. Apply -> ok.
Go ahead and open steam. If you had it open, close it and reopen it. It will give you a nag screen asking for permission to run, but thats fine! Now you will probably notice that SWS has its icon correctly in the steam list, and you can run the game from there now! No file modifications needed! Biggest plus to fixing it this way is that it doesnt break the loader!! All your settings are intact and the game starts as it should. Have fun!
