Oni Cannot Run

Having a problem with trying to get Oni running under windows XP. I run it, it goes through the opening movie just fine, then crashed after that finishes, with the spectacularly unhelpful error message Damn, Oni crashed.

No idea as to why, nothing in the logfiles as to why, just...died.

No dice. 2.0 does no good (win98 or below mode just flat out refuse to run, win2k mode gives the same "Blam! Oni crashed" error.
 
2.5 failed to install. muttering something about it needing a 32bit OS (and Im running windows XP?????)
 
This is crazy. I've had it running on XP before..but I dont know what was different back then..

I had a game that would crash if you let the opening video play more than a few seconds, but it worked if I quickly escaped past it. Tried that? Do you have the latest patch?

Its Oni. Escaping past it doesnt help, and theyve never released any patches for it. Some people seem to be able to manage fine with it, others have graphics issues. Mine just fails to work.
