It works!!!! I don't know why they don't get along, but uninstalling ZoneAlarm helped me also.

Thank you for that suggestion!

None of them, because game didn't even started. Lauched game from Steam -> Usual Steam check-ups -> Crash. Didn't even see the game screen pop up.

Nothing, same crash report from Windows as above.

I doubt we can get the crash report from .rpt files, because for us, who have this problem, game haven't been launched and couldn't create these files.

Alright ZoneAlarm users (or ex-users), looks like in BI forums the culprit for crash problems has been found: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?147513-Uninstall-ZoneAlarm-if-Alpha-not-starting&p=2314798&viewfull=1#post2314798

Sorry if it doesn't immidiatly help those who doesn't use ZoneAlarm, but maybe this could provide a lead for the source of the problem.
