McAfee, ive already tried disabling it while installing it someitmes gets stuck right at the beginning, sometimes in the middle i have about 201 gbs of disk space on my pc and when i do the disk check it says i dont need to do one, i clicked on do it anyway and it says itll take about 2 hours to complete it. ill post an update once its done edit: it actually completed way faster than expected. says theres nothing wrong there isnt a paint.net folder in my local appdata

i have tried doing both of these. ive ran the troubleshooter atleast 20 times now and ive ran the framework repair tool about 15 times. still nothing.

this is probably a bit too late to mention, but i checked my program files n stuff to see if there was anything leftover, and it turns out there was, none of paint.net was actually uninstalled and the program files were still there, despite the fact i used the windows troubleshooter on paint.net before uninstalling originally. i used revo uninstaller to get rid of the leftover folders and registration keys on my pc but it still gets stuck at the extraction phase when i try to install it. i hope this info helps a little, albeit its a bit late

4.3.7

thanks for the response, but when i run the troubleshooter, paint.net isnt listed in the list of programs. when i select "program isnt listed" it just closes the troubleshooter.

my paint.net kept crashing when i opened it lately, so i uninstalled it in hopes that reinstalling would fix it. now whenever i try to open the installer it freezes at the "extracting files" part of the installation then closes itself. i have .net framework installed, ive updated my pc, im using windows 10, i have enough space in my pc to install it, so why does it keep freezing at extracting files? id appreciate help, thanks
