[Error Opening DDS File]

I'm a big fan of Paint.net, BTW!  Been using it for years, and I have the Microsoft Store version because it's too good to be free!  

 

[Error Opening DDS File]

Thank you. It's a .dds file, but your site doesn't accept .dds files. However, I thought Paint.net 5.0 does support them. 

[Error Opening DDS File]

Hi. I'm getting an error when trying to open a .dds file. It is: "There was an error opening the .dds file."  The exception data states, "The DDS file is invalid." I'm wondering if the file type isn't supported, yet.

 

[Error 1603 During Install on Windows 7 x64]

Is there a 64-bit only installer I may download and run? Or is there a fix for this?

 

OS is Windows 7, 64-bit with SP1.  I have .NET 4.7.2 installed and the latest Windows updates.

 

Paint.NET did an update, removed the old version, but failed to install the new. When I download and run the latest installer from the getpaint.net website, it displays this error: "There was an error while installing paint.net. (1603). Fatal error during installation."

 

Windows event viewer displays this message: "Event 10005, MsiInstaller. Product: paint.net -- 32-bit MSI may not be installed on 64-bit OS."  Not sure why the paint.net installer is trying to install a 32-bit application on my 64-bit OS.

 

Any suggestion will be much appreciated!
