[Solved] Exilebuddy crashes upon startup in a VM

I don't know what else to try to get this to work. I reisntalled my os yesterday and was able to run the game and exilebuddy just fine, though if I repeat the same steps I took on the main os it crashes when I start it. I have tried running it in virtualbox and vmware and both produce similar results. I've installed .net framework 4 and 4.5 at different points in time to test if that was the problem and tried the 64 and 86 bit versions of visual c++ (none of this was at once, I uninstalled before installing the other version). I've also reinstalled the os in vmware along with vmware itself and still nothing. On top of that I've copied the same folders I'm using into the vms, still nothing.

If anyone has any ideas what I can do that'd be good. I'd like to play on my main account while I bot under a different ip and using a vm is the only way I can think since I don't have another computer around with a powerful enough video card in it.

The actual runtime you need can be found here.

Other than that, I don't really have any tips for you, as the bot should work in VMWare fine (we have a lot of users using it right now that way). If you can't get it working, I'll setup my own VMware instance and give it a try, perhaps a windows update is missing or something.

That link is the first one I went to as I was trying different versions out. I'm on 4.5 on my main os for reference. If it does work fine for you on install I'd be curious what steps you took from install to starting it to compare it to mine. Of course you can skip things like "installed windows" or " started path of exile."

I forgot to mention in the original post but I am on windows 7 ultimate 64 bit.
 
Ok, so I setup a new VM instance, just a Win 7 x64 ultimate iso. I did all the Windows updates except for language packs. Installed the runtime linked in that thread and the bot started up just fine. I needed the VS 2010 runtime for PoE itself, but that shouldn't really matter since the bot doesn't use that runtime. In addition, I ran the OALInst and OALInst in the poe Redist folder, but neither of those should affect the bot, I think. If you didn't update DirectX yourself, that might be the issue.

The only issue I notice is the white wash effect in VMWare with the client, but that doesn't affect the bot. Here's a screenshot. So the only issues I came across are rendering PoE in the VM, and nothing with the bot itself.

Odd, I'll try those other things and see. I don't get the white effect though.
