Hi, new here ..
I'm installing paint.net 3.22 and getting the 1603 error. I did search around but none of the other postings re: error 1603 seem to apply.
I've never had any previous versions of paint.net installed.
I'm using win xp sp2.
* I repaired .net 2.0 (didn't work..).. so I uninstalled it, rebooted, and reinstalled it (redownloaded from MS website)
* I checked hkey local machine permissions and explicity added myself (even though i am in administrators group).
* I tried both quick install and custom with almost every concievable option selected/deseleced - still didn't work.
I am installing to the default directory -- c:/program files/paint.NET/
I have deleted the registry key and any files leftover after the failed install before attempting to reinstall.
I get the following critical msi error in my windows application log:
Product: Paint.NET v3.22 -- Error 1722. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Action _577D73A5_8502_4A32_A3DC_26C3DEF80357, location: C:\Program Files\Paint.NET\SetupNgen.exe, command: /install DESKTOPSHORTCUT=1 PDNUPDATING=0 SKIPCLEANUP=0 "PROGRAMSGROUP=" QUEUENGEN=1
Thank you go anyone that can help
ETA: I just realized that in my event log it's error 1722 and not 1603 as I stated. The installer says error 1603 but the eventvwr is code 1722
Thanks again
