thanks for your reply rick
you want screenshots (I assume of the dialog boxes only, not my entire desktops) of my attempts to install which? I also tried (downloading and) reinstalling, out of desperation, (after posting the above) 2.5 today (also to no avail/got same dilaogs). which one you want dialogs of: 2.5 install attempts? or 2.6 beta 2?
ps-also tried disabling winpatrol and SDhelper (part of spybot), but got same results :-(
I'm caught up in an endless loop here. somewhere along the line it told me 2.6 alpha 1 is installed, so I went to add/remove programs, but it won't UNinstall...aww jeeze...
thanks again

rick said "No kidding. The fix is in Beta 2"
sorry, rick, but I've gotta say "not for ME it's not." I've been running paint dot net since 3 or 4 versions back. I got the same -exact- dialog mentioned at top here, even -with- 2.6 beta 2, todays attempt to install. matter of fact, I tried installing paint dot net newest 2 or 3 weeks back, got the dreaded dialog, rebooted, tried again, got same deal, gave it up for a few weeks (hoping a new re 're-tweaked' installer would be posted, or something), so downloaded a fresh installer today, 2.6 beta 2, just minutes ago. I shut down ALL other apps, followed same procedures I've always used (successfully in the past), tried reinstalling 2.6b2, but got same dialog -again- (two attempts to install it so far today)
I'm on XP service pack 2, fully updated, including all the newest framework. I'm 2.66 ghz, a gig of RAM...with-tons- of free space on the drive
gettin' kinda frustrating...
ps-I'm electing a 'custom install', to a hard drive where the OS is -not- located, but where there's -much- more free space (and where paint dot net's always been sussessfully installed before, for whatever that's worth...)
anything I can do? or check? or?
thanks much :-) I appreciate your efforts :-)
Got a SetupNgen error during setup? Read this.

I read then downloaded/used the "MS uninstall cleanup tool", then installed 2.6 beta 2, and 'all is well' now
thanks rick,
