As stated in the article, for the clean install it is important that:
The 'installer', not the zip file, is used to perform the installation.
You will need to run the installer with Windows administrator privileges. The installer is available here:
Your Windows must be completely patched for the installer to work. (E.g., Win7 must have SP1 installed + updates).
Keep running Windows Update until there are no more patches to apply. This may require rebooting your machine several times.
The installer must be an exception to your AntiVirus.
The directory in which you install the Buddy bot must be an exception to your AntiVirus.
You copy nothing from a previous Honorbuddy installation
We'll need to leave it in this configuration, until we get the problem figured out.
If no joy, please show us a log of the problem from the 'clean install'.
