Fair point, they do. But, for example, the Office installer warns and stops you if you have something open that needs to be shut. I haven't had a chance to do a reinstall of Paint.NET yet, as have too much VS.NET work on at the moment to risk any problems. I'll post if I do.

After updating to Paint.NET 3.5.1, Visual Studio 2008 .NET SP1 would not load. Error dialog on splash screen read: Microsoft Visual Studio cannot find one or more components. Please reinstall the application. Fix was to rollback to the pre-install system restore check point. Previous version was Paint.NET v3.5 (Final Release build 3.50.3596.41598) Install was through prompt on start of Paint.NET, then selecting update at shut down. VS.NET was open during the update. OS Win XP SP 2.
