Thank you. I shall try 3.5. Because the fault report from paint.net is incorrect.
"There is a fault with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run", cannot be true. The correct windows installer for XP has now been again downloaded just to be sure,
WindowsXP-KB942288-v3-x86.exe.
The fault is NOT with the windows installer package. It simply must be with the paint.net package.
I'll be back!
