Must have been a conflict with either the Malware Bytes or MS Security Essentials, as disabling these on boot, then dl'ing a fresh client, (again!), and reinstalling fixed it.
I had to however, repair both of the vcredist files, (as per Bifrost's suggestion), even after last install. Configurehardware worked this time, but the client still failed to launch. Repairing aforementioned files, (cba to uninstall/reinstall them lol), finally fixed the problem.
Thank you all once again guys. Much appreciated <3.
