  1. How to update Paint.NET when asked for a missing MSI in the Staging folder:

    1. Find out the version that is installed. - Mine is version 3.5.5
    2. Go to File Hippo and download your current version.
    3. You need to unpack the MSI from the downloaded EXE... run from a cmd.exe window (or Start Run):
      Paint.NET.3.5.5.Install.exe /createMsi CHECKFORBETAS=0 DESKTOPSHORTCUT=0
    4. Open the folder created on your desktop, PaintDotNetMsi, and rename the filePaintDotNet.x86.msi (or x64.msi) to PaintDotNet_753582080.msi or whatever filename Windows Installer is asking for. (not really necessary to rename it...)
    5. Copy the MSI to C:\Program Files\Paint.NET\Staging
    6. Re-run the Paint.NET update - or uninstaller.
