SakiPai83 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 (edited) So I installed paint.NET a while ago and never had any problems until I went to start it today. Suddenly I've apparently got a .dll file missing? I tried uninstalling and re-installing, but I can't seem to fix it. I tried just downloading the .dll, but according to the error message, it's missing from MANY locations, and manually adding it to all of these folders seems like far too much--hopefully there's another way to fix it. I've also searched around but it doesn't seem like anyone else is having this problem. Attached a screenshot of the error message.

Rick Brewster Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 You might have an old beta installation of some Visual Studio product ... /hypothesis Installing this should fix it: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145 Quote The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SakiPai83 Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 Have you tried OS/Program Files/Paint.net/Pdn Repair ? I tried repairing the program from the control panel and it didn't help, unless you're referring to something else. You might have an old beta installation of some Visual Studio product ... /hypothesis Installing this should fix it: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145 That didn't help, either.

Pixey Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 This is where I suggested you look for the 'Repair' in the Paint.net Program Files: Quote How I made Jennifer & Halle in Paint.net My Gallery | My Deviant Art "Rescuing one animal may not change the world, but for that animal their world is changed forever!" anon.

SakiPai83 Posted March 9, 2016 Author Share Posted March 9, 2016 Update: When I shut my computer earlier today, it installed a few updates. I decided to try installing paint.net again just in case and...it seems to be working. I guess whatever was causing the problem was resolved by those updates? In case anyone is curious, I attached a screenshot of all the updates that were installed. Anyway, I guess this problem is resolved now.

IRON67 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 A little info besides the (solved) main problem): If you have Windows 7 and don't want to upgrade to Windows 10, then you should uninstall the following updates, seen in your screenshot: KB3035583 KB2592664 Other Win10-related Updates, if existing: KB2976978KB2990214KB3012973KB3074677KB3123862 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
