Hello Paint.Net Users,
I work in IT and I've been given the task to silently install Paint.Net on the networked Computers.
So I downloaded the Installation files and closely followed the Instructions I found here: http://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/UnattendedInstallation.html
Now the actual Installation, while working fine on most of the machines, seems to "randomly" not work on a few of them.
The MSI Installer exits with the infamous Error Code 1603 (generic error).
To I ran the MSI in Debugging mode (attaching /L*V $Logpath to the commandline). I attached this debugging file to this post, one part of the file is especially interesting though:
Action start 10:05:24: InstallFinalize.

MSI (s) (4C:68) [10:05:24:679]: Note: 1: 2262 2: Error 3: -2147287038
MSI (s) (4C:68) [10:05:24:679]: Product: paint.net -- Error 1722. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Action _577D73A5_8502_4A32_A3DC_26C3DEF80357, location: C:\Program Files\paint.net\SetupNgen.exe, command: /install DESKTOPSHORTCUT=0 PDNUPDATING=0 SKIPCLEANUP=0 "PROGRAMSGROUP=Anwendungen" QUEUENGEN=0
So as you can see, the "real" error is 1722. I already tried to repackage the msi and to run installation again, with no luck.
Is there something I can do to fix this? I'm really kinda stuck atm.
Thanks for reading and cheers
