[Can't Install Paint.net!]

Would I be able to compile the code such that I can run the installer in a debugger and set a breakpoint at that call to Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey.DeleteSubKeyTree in SetupNgen.MainImpl?

Something about being unable to delete a registry key because the subkey does not exist. Could that be because the subkey name is empty? Because "args[4] = PROGRAMSGROUP=" way up at the top? My log is almost identical to the one shown above.

Hi Rick. So what do you suggest I do? I'm a .NET developer, so repairing or reinstalling the framework does not seem like a task I want to undertake just to run Paint.NET. Don't get me wrong: I love Paint.NET, but not at the expense of my development environment. I can stick with 3.08, but of course you no longer support it.

My mistake on the GAC issue. My brain went to the GAC because of the stack trace I found in the PdnSetupNgenInstall.log. It ends with the following error:

I appreciate any help you can give.

For those of us getting "HRESULT: 0x800736B3" on 32-bit Vista, your telling me I can't use Paint.NET 3.22 because I can't put an amd64 assembly in the GAC? Paint.NET 3.08 installs just fine. So does VS.NET 2005 and VS.NET 2008. Is there no hope?

I searched the tutorials forums, but I was unable to locate tutorials for making complex masks and precise selections with Paint.NET. Are there any I'm overlooking?

Thanks for your help.
