Hi,
Have been running Paint.net perfectly fine for many years and absolutely love it.
Recently it attempted to automatically update to 5.0.6 and it failed due to an internal crash in .NET
As a software developer, I already have the .NET 7 SDK installed (along with Visual Studio 2022 etc).
I use multiple machines and the exact same issue has happened on all of them
I've attempted to use the web installer, MSI installer, x64 installer directly, all of which fail.
I have ensured there is no trace of Paint.net installed anywhere.
The error reported from the downloader is "Installation of paint.net failed (-1073741819, 0xC0000005)
Looking in the Event Viewer, shows 2 entries.
1. .NET Runtime
Application: SetupFrontEnd.exe

I have uninstalled the .NET 7 SDK and reinstalled it to no avail.
I suspect this is caused by my machines being development boxes? Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
