Can't install because Windows SP1 is installed.(Windows Vista)


Recommended Posts

So I just got my computer reformatted and I needed to reinstall paint.net. It said windows sp1 is required. So I checked in my computer properties and I found this: F6UKiWl.png

This would mean that SP1 is already installed. What do?

I am afraid Dryda is correct. The new PDN requires a minimum of Win7 SP1 .  Vista is too old - even after only a few years. You can get 3.5.11 online though. Just scroll down to the bottom of the page. It`s the last one before v4 was introduced and should work fine.

 

Hopefully Rick won`t mind me posting a link to an older version. It`s one of the unfortunate consequences of making v4 only compatible with the latest OS`s. ( not a criticism, just an observation  :)  )

Goonfella, I removed the link. Not that I think you were wrong for giving it to Damonj, but because linking to an older version lends legitimacy. Unfortunately, as there is no official version of 3.5.11, anyone who downloads it from any source does so at their own risk. We want this forum to be a source of good and solid downloads (we don't want people to have to wonder whether our links are good or not). Since we can't be sure about that for any sources of 3.5.11, we can't post any links to that version.

Damonj, you might consider dropping a few bones on Windows 7 or 8.1. They've got some great features you'll really like.

 

The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. And nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it. One day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world.
Amy: But how did it end up in there?
The Doctor: You know fairy tales. A good wizard tricked it.
River Song: I hate good wizards in fairy tales; they always turn out to be him.

Yes, I mind. "You can find it with a google search" is sufficient.
