WittleDud Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 I have Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit and I'm trying to install Paint.net and I keep getting error 1603. I've searched for fixes for this problem, but nothing works. It seems like I have the proper .Net framework installed... I tried installing .Net 4.6.1 separately and I get the message 'this or a newer version is already installed'. I also tried to create the msi installs separately using the /createMsi option, but I still get the 1603 when running the install from the created msi file. Since I tried to install paint.net multiple times, I tried deleting the paint.net registry entries between install attempts, but that didn't help. So at this point, I don't know what to try next. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WittleDud Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 Yes, I did install paint.net before, but I uninstalled it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toe_head2001 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Ok, then there must be some remnants of the previous installation that weren't completely removed. Run this utility to get rid of those remnants: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/mats/program_install_and_uninstall 1 (September 25th, 2023) Sorry about any broken images in my posts.

WittleDud Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 The link did work, and I got the fix it program. I ran the fix it, and I downloaded paint.net successfully. Thanks for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk993 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I know this thread is from 3 years ago, but I had the same problem and it took so long for me to fix it, so when I found this thread and it worked I made an account on this forum just to leave this message and thank you for you help. Thanks, toe_head2001!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
