I’m running Windows 8 64-bit and Visual Studio 2012 and RackAFX won’t start!
You need to download and install the 2008 C++ (X86) redistributable from Microsoft. You can get it on the downloads page here

There is a further issue with VS 2012 that complains "one or more components are not installed" and VS is unable to start and persists even after a repair or reinstall.
Fortunately, the fix is simple
Navigate with regedit to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers
And delete the following key:
C:\\ProgramFiles(x86)\\MicrosoftVisualStudio11.0\\Common7\\IDE\\WDExpress

Thanks Murdryk!
It looks like this machine had VS Express installed at one point? The 2008 C++ Redistributable should not be writing this registry key. My Win64 machine only has the express version and not the full VS2012 Pro.
