I had long been using “paint.net 4.0.3” on Windows 10 until “4.0.3” stopped working properly. I downloaded “paint.net 4.2.16” from “dotpdn.com”and attempted to extract it into “C:\Program Files\paint.net”. Results are 1) a folder named “Staging” containing “PaintDotNet_x64_214659886.msi” 2) the message “Fatal error during installation.”, code 1603.
In Forums, “Common Install / Uninstall / Crash Problems and Solutions!” says run a diagnostic but strikes it out; one is left somewhat at sea.
I still have in “C:\Users\Owner\Downloads”, two copies of the downloaded installation files “paint.net.4.2.16.install.zip”, and a folder named “paint.net.4.2.16.install (1)” containing “paint.net.4.2.16.install.exe”.
