Authentication Failed

I have been away awhile figured I would refire up HB, tried to install got the missing file error, deleted and redid framework ect as you suggest to others with this issue. Then I got everything installed and get authentication failed when I run the exe. I tried to DL the file I see suggested when people have this error but it will not install It says no signature found. I am running windows 8 pro. I am assumiong HB works with 8? If so any suggestions?

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 saw that while searching but when I try to install it , it gives an error. -no signature was present in the subject

 

On windows 8 pro I have the microsoft.net folder.....and I have a framework folder inside that but inside Version 4.??? I have none of the rest...am I missing something

 

After hours f researching this and trying to fix it, I am seeing all over the net that you cannot remove framework on windows 8 as it is deeply embedded in the OS. Any further suggestion?

 

I downloaded a tool from microsoft that removes all framework thats possible, on win 8.... reinstalled ran wizard installed C++ same thing

 

you said you "found a link"

did you use MY link or just the random one from whatever instruction you found?


download and install this.

if your still having issues after that then post a new log please.
if you would, please post a full log as an attachment so we can see whats going on.

I used your link, and the same thing happened, I then found another link but still the same thing. Your link installed C++ and it shows it installed fine but nothing has changed

 

This is the HB log.... The link your giving me to install FAILS I have tried many times, here is the log from it ...one min

 

log on failed install

 

How the hell can I remove it? In programs and features it only gives the option to shut it off, can you explain that? Because I cannot find a solution anywhere on just how. The ONLY way I have been able to is using a tool from microsoft to do so, and I did that... And it is not working

 

Its not listed in programs, with everything else, its only listed under programs/features and there is no uninstall option

 

here is my control panel, add remove programs....

 

I get what your saying I am pretty computer literate. but I do not see anyway possible to manually uninstall on windows 8

 

then you dont have them installed.

now.

install this
https://www.thebuddyforum.com/relea...-dependency-wizard-post704565.html#post704565


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.

 

Just got back in town, ran both of those it STIll says framework is already installed....And the C++ went through fine, still same error. Microsoft support has tons of threads about framework being integrated in the OS, I dont think you can easily uninstall it on windows 8.1 pro....If you can direct me to a way besides the standard control panel I would be glad to try it...but thats not an option on this machine hence my screenshot of the uninstall programs,
