Seems uninstalling any microsoft software from this computer <No cursing.>s everything else up too =_=; microsoft directed me to a fixit software thing that's supposed to fix the problem. Turns out this fixit is also affected, and won't open because "msiexec.exe has encountered a problem" greaaaaaat.

I've never had a version of Visual Studio on here, and was completely unaware that there was a version anywhere, so no, it wasn't on. I'm going to delete it from the computer, cause no one uses it. I'm not sure why it's even on there. EDIT: tried uninstalling it, but the .NET framework won't uninstall (it says uninstall successful, and that it needs to restart, but after restart, it's still on the computer), and neither will one of the Visual Studio programs (that one doesn't even give an "uninstall" option). I tried adding the latest .NET framework again, but this time it won't even start up the install...it just immediately crashes with a similar error report.I also tried uninstalling the paint.NET version I have currently, to see if that was causing problems, but when I've tried, it just says the installation hit a fatal error, and had to quit. Also, while in the uninstall/repair screen of my control panel, I noticed a lot of other programs from earlier that were no longer needed. I waited until the VisualStudio uninstallations were done (the ones I could, anyway) and have since come to notice that I can't actually uninstall anything now. it always says "msiexec.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." no matter what program I'm trying to uninstall. Another pop up comes up later after saying "fatal termination" and nothing else.

the pop up was this: http://i52.tinypic.com/x22fj5.jpg the "what was contained in this error report" link was this: http://i56.tinypic.com/2hro3t5.jpg

Yeah, tried it, and it still happened, but it actually gave me a pop up. It said something failed, and all the files were deleted because of it.

I'm not sure how to check. This isn't really my computer, it's my dad's. It's pretty.. neglected, so I highly doubt there was one to begin with. It didn't even finish installing, it just quits halfway through when I try to install. EDIT: the latest frameowkr on the computer is 2.0. It also has 1.1 installed.

Every time I try to install the latest Paint.Net it, just fails. No eror messages, no pup ups, no nothing. It goes to download the .Net framework or whatever, and near the end, the window just closes. I am working with XP, my antivirus is Avast Personal Version, it was disabled when I tried downloading Paint. NET, I'm working on an administrative account. I have an older (the oldest, actually) version of Paint.Net currently installed on the computer, and I do have Serviec Pack 3 for XP installed on this computer. This installation process has failed six times. Someone please help.
