NETdoinganythingwrong

I'm sorry, I didn't know that was the case or that it would be difficult to engineer such an option. I don't know anything about programming and presumed it would've just required a toggle switch to not install .NET so I could install it separately beforehand. Thanks for your time!

After a night of downloading tons of updates I can now install smoothly, thanks! However, if I may humbly suggest, please give the option to toggle off the download and/or installation of .NET Framework at the start.

Hi, I just upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 (both x64) and now Paint.NET refuses to install because .NET 4.7.1 is already on the computer. I tried installing an older version in the process of reinstalling everything I use before getting to Paint.NET and it also understandably refused to install as a newer version was already on the PC, however with Paint.NET the installation shuts down abruptly without giving me any type of error or message, it just refuses to continue as it can't install .NET. Any help please? I've been using this software for years and it's been dead reliable and practical for pretty much anything. Thank you!
