Nevermind my questions about the VB-thingy, the windows utility did it's thing (never though I was gonna say this, but: Thanks microsoft). It's working again Oh, and in my 'defence', I took vista because it came with my notebook, and downgrading to xp didn't give me any price reduction, and I was kinda hoping Vista had sóme nice things. I'm surviving though Thanks for the help! Wouldn't have figured it out myself, mainly cause I though 2.6 was too long ago to be important to me ;P

No dumb questions 1: Yes, I'm admin 2: What's VB Runtime? :oops: 3: I did a virusscan, defragmentation etc etc, I expect my computer to be pretty clean. About the permission denied: I'll try to run it 'as admin', which is one of the options I forgot. (Although I still don't understand that option, as don't expect to need this function when I'm "Admin" already...)

Well... The Windows Installer CleanUp Utility failed before it started. I downloaded the file and got the following error: By Svenniemannie Funny thing was, I got angry and tried to delete the (empty) folder by hand again. That worked :? I re-downloaded paint.NET and tried to install it again, but I got the same error: By svenniemannie at 2008-07-09 So my problem occurs when removing the older versions. As far as I know, I deleted everything though...

I was talking about the .NET framework not showing up Paint.NET shows up, but won't uninstall (due to the 'resources' error) Hm, I'll try nr. 3 tomorrow. I'm afraid it won't work though, as this "TuneUp Utilities" is also a very capable program and didn't succeed. But, who doesn't try, doesn't win. (Dutch saying, don't know if it can be translated to english )

I actually looked up that post before posting, but I jumped over nr. 4 too fast. Is there any possibility I had paint.NET running *without* the .NET framework installed? I can't find it in the program-list (Or is it embedded in Vista?)

I have problems with (un)installing Paint.NET (Well, state the obvious ) It started some time ago, when I installed paint.NET on a memory-stick as well. (To use it at school) I don't remember why, but after that I deleted the paint.NET on my harddisk and tried to reïnstall it. I was surprised to find the 'standard-installation-path' to be my memory-stick. I changed it to c:\paint.NET\ and continued. I got an error which had to do something with a network error. Odd, as it was just my harddisk, no network needed. Anyway, I 'fixed' it by copying my memory-stick version to my harddisk again. Today I wanted to update, but during the update the following error showed up: Some more tries, but nothing worked, so I decided to uninstall everything and download a new clean version. Problems with uninstalling: I could delete all files, but the folder "c:\paint.NET" couldn't be deleted. It seemed to be read-only. Turning off the 'read-only' didn't work, it just became read-only again. Standard-Windows-uninstall didn't work, neither did an extensive deletion by "TuneUp Utilities 2007". Problems with installing: I tried to install the new paint.NET in another folder, C:\paintDOTNET, as the other one was still occupied by the empty folder. However, I just got the same error: I hope you can help me solve this problem, I'm really missing Paint.NET already Thanks, Sven (Vista, Dell Inspiron 1521)
