There's another problem, now there's a new undeleteable file, "PaintDotNet.exe" in the same directory.
It brings up a similar error
Error opening file for writing:
C:/.../AppData/Local/Temp/PdnSetup/PaintDotNet.exe
But regardless, the previous files are still in there, and are still a problem if "PaintDotNet.exe" wasn't one

I've recently installed Paint.net and attempted to move it from Program Files to Program Files (x86), after which Paint.net no longer opened
Now, I am not able to reinstall Paint.net. Running the installer (even in administrator mode) prompts the following message :
Error opening file for writing:C:/.../AppData/Local/Temp/PdnSetup/SetupFrontEnd.exe
and
Error opening file for writing:
C:/.../AppData/Local/Temp/PdnSetup/SetupShim.exe
I am not able to delete or rename any of these 2 files, or the folder they are in
That's because I do not have permission to do so, and by checking the files' permission, it tells me
You must have read permissions to view the proprieties of this object.
It doesn't let me change the owner, permissions, auditing or effective access either
If you can compress your Paint.net folder to a rar or zip, i'd be more than happy to install it

The install and uninstall troubleshooter did work, but it didn't remind me to reboot. Otherwise, the installation worked, and yes, I did pick a custom location for the installation.
Thanks for your help 👍
