download and install this. http://download.microsoft.com/download/2/E/6/2E61CFA4-993B-4DD4-91DA-3737CD5CD6E3/vcredist_x86.exe after your done restart your pc.
I've downloaded that file and tried installing, however no application opens up. However when I open up the x64 version of it, I can install that but that doesn't fix the grey magic
I did but nothing comes up. I'm really not too sure how this is going to work for me. Will all future HB updates require this redist?
Like I said, I'm able to install the x64 version but not the x86. If there is another workaround that doesn't require a clean install, I'd like to try that first. Haha
