Grandizer Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Hello, I went to run Paint.net today and I am getting... System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Core, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' or one of its dependencies. The system cannon find the file specified. File name: 'System.Core, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' at PaintDotNet.Startup.StartPart3() at PaintDotNet.Startup.StartPart2() in D:\src\pdn\pdn_35x\src\PaintDotNet\Startup.cs:line 359 at PaintDotNet.Startup.Main(string[] args) in D:\src\pdn\pdn_35x\src\Paintdotnet\Startup.cs:line 465 WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF. To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusuon!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1. Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging. To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog]. I have tried to uninstall the program as well as repair it. Both fail saying there was some part of the install that did not complete. I even tried it in safe mode and it failed to uninstall there because apparently the uninstall utility was not loaded. It worked last week and the only thing I have installed since then was MongoVUE. I have tried to uninstall it (which was successful) and then try to run/repair/uninstall PDN with the same results as above. I love the program and need to do work on it NOW. But I need to wipe it clean and reinstall it but can't. PLEASE HELP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Reinstall the .NET Framework. It's busted. Quote The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandizer Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 which one? 3.5 I suspect? I have 4 and 4.5 as well (being a developer) Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Seeing as how the error says System.Core (3.5.0.0), yeah 3.5 is what you want.

Grandizer Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 As it turns out, I was not able to uninstall/reinstall/repair .Net 3.5 at all. After a bit of a search I came across a verification tool which did nothing except say things were successfully verified. Then the following was what did the trick for me. .NET Framework Cleanup Tool http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2008/08/28/8904493.aspx This .NET Framework cleanup tool is designed to automatically perform a set of steps to remove selected versions of the .NET Framework from a computer. It will remove files, directories, registry keys and values and Windows Installer product registration information for the .NET Framework. The tool is intended primarily to return your system to a known (relatively clean) state in case you are encountering .NET Framework installation, uninstallation, repair or patching errors so that you can try to install again. I figured I would have to reinstall .Net 3.5 but I did not. I then checked to see if at least Paint.Net was working and it was. So woo hoo!!

Rick Brewster Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Well now that's an interesting utility I've never seen before. Glad it worked, and thanks for sharing!
