and 4.0.2 loaded without issue... happy day!

and now i have SP1, almost three years after it was rolled out! i apologize about the snarky response to the suggestion about using Win Update... i'm so anal about updates, i manually check for updates several times a week and i always click on 'check for updates' even if the initial screen says 'no new updates found'... i'm always surprised how many new updates pop up after seeing that! so... i had always assumed that i was completely completely updated... but WU never auto-updated SP1 and never asked if i wanted to manually update to it (i did think it was unusual that the 'windows edition' screen didn't specifically say anything about any service packs, so i d/led the x64 build, and 40 minutes later... i'm all 'packed up'!) lesson learned = never assume now i'm off to try loading build 4.0.2

hmmm... i'll assume that Win Update never offered me SP1, even though it's faithfully delivered hundreds of updates since 2011? here's the KB d/ling it now... keep your fingers crossed for me

windows update runs automatically every tuesday. but i'll run it again manually right now edit: no updates found, of course launcher still fails, as it has failed each update since 3.5.11 is there a launcher log that might help?

my win7 home premium says 'version 6.1', am i locked out of using paint.net? paint.net 3.5.11 is as high as i can go, darn it!
