Version string too long/short

[iamzero]

HB won't start. Says "unable to check for an update" and "will not be able to update"

Completely uninstalled, deleted the dir, re-downloaded installer, installed. Still same issue.

[Tony]

any antivirus enabled?

 

[iamzero]

turned off av. issue remained.

 

[CodenameG]

are you sure the key your trying to use is the same one listed on the buddyauth website? are you sure theres no spaces before or after your key?


if your sure, try flushing your dns
Flush DNS - What's My DNS?


reset your host file back to default.
How to Reset Hosts File to Default in Windows? - AskVG


and try power cycling your home router.

 

[iamzero]

Flushed DNS, deleted host file, reset router.

My key is fine. If the issue was the key, it wouldn't let me log in.

 

[Tony]

still got issues?

 

[iamzero]

yes

 

[Tony]

can you enable your antivirus instead and set exceptions plz?

 

[iamzero]

issue remains.

 

[CodenameG]

if you have more then one network adaptor installed on your pc, disable all of them except the one used by your internet connection.

 

[iamzero]

issue remains.

 

[CodenameG]

Go to Programs and Features, in your windows Control panel.
Look for:
- microsoft .net framework 4 client profile
- microsoft .net framework 4 extended
- microsoft .net framework 4.5.x
- microsoft visual c++ 2010 x86 redistributable
- microsoft visual c++ 2012 x86 redistributable


and Uninstall them if they are installed.
Restart your PC.


install this

and this
Download Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1 (Web Installer) for Windows Vista SP2, Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8, Windows Server 2008 SP2 Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 and Windows Server 2012 from Official Microsoft Download Center


run both as administrator.
after the both installs are completed, run windows update. And install all updates for .net & c++
Then do one last restart.

figured out what the issue was. Took some digging, but I found it. My firewall was blocking port 5031, which is what HB uses. Just had to open the port and it worked.
