[ANSWERED] Missing dll and buddywizard not working

[ernie007]

Hi

Need help, heres my story in order:
-I setup a vm os win xp 32 bit (windows update runned) and wow is running but I encountered an error with hb installation.
-I manually downloaded zip file and installed pre requisite c++ (2013) and .net(version 4.0.0 and then version 4.0.3, this is the version supported by windows xp)
-Then I encountered an error with missing mscvp110.dll error during hb launch.
-Searched the hb support section, uninstalled the c++ and .net
-Tried running buddywizard.exe but buddywizard has an error which says "it is not a valid win32 bit application"
-Posted my story and need help.

Thanks

Hi, Ernie007, and thanks for telling us all the things you've tried.

Honorbuddy will not work under WinXP (or emulated XP). You will need to pick Windows Vista or better.
.NET 4.5 is required—.NET 4.0 is unacceptable.

Although Honorbuddy is not officially supported in a VM, we'll need to see logs if you are unable to get it to work.

I'm pretty sure it's Vista SP 2 in fact.
