Ego Eram Reputo Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 That's not the same issue. I'll split it into it's own thread. System specs? Paint.net version? Give us something to work with.....

locksthefox Posted June 19, 2016 Author Share Posted June 19, 2016 (edited) That's not the same issue. I'll split it into it's own thread. System specs? Paint.net version? Give us something to work with..... Windows 7 SP1, trying to install version 4.0.9. I repaired the .NET framework, so that wasn't the issue...

Ego Eram Reputo Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Does this error happen at installation, app start, or does it start normally and then crash when you do some task?Edit; try running sfc / scannow from an elevated command prompt. Here's how ..You may have success running something called SFC (System File Checker). It's a bit arcane, but here's how to do it ...1. Press the Windows key or click the Start menu/pearl2. Type CMD and then press Ctrl+Shift+Enter (this will allow it to run with administrator privilege, which SFC requires)3. Click yes/continue/whatever on the security prompt if it shows up (UAC)Now you're at the command-line. Be careful, but no need to be scared.4. To get your bearings, type "sfc /?" (without quotes) and press enter5. Next, type "sfc /VERIFYONLY" (without quotes) and press enter6. Wait awhile ...7. If it displays any errors you will then want to type "sfc /SCANNOW" (without quotes) and then press enter8. Wait awhile ...(Technically, steps 4-6 are optional)If that doesn't help, you will want to find another computer that's running Windows Vista and copy their C:\Windows\FONTS directory into your C:\WIndows\FONTS directory.Also, I recommend running "chkdsk". You can either brave the command line for this, or do it through My Computer like so:1. Press Windows Key + E to bring up Windows Explorer. It should already be parked at "My Computer".2. Right click on your hard drive (it should have a "(C:)" suffix) and click Properties in the menu that comes up3. Click on the tab named "Tools"4. There should be a section called "Error checking" with a button labeled "Check now...". Click on the button.5. Another small dialog will pop up. Click on the "Start" button. You may have to restart your computer to perform the scan, during which you won't be able to use your computer for other stuff. It will tell you if this is necessary.

locksthefox Posted June 20, 2016 Author Share Posted June 20, 2016 (edited) ah yes, there was an integrity violation somewhere, let's see if this scan fixes. It's on installation, by the way EDIT: looks like it's working! Edited June 20, 2016 by locksthefox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Glad it works now It makes sense (to me at least ) ... The only reason InvalidOperationException will happen here is if d2d1.dll (Direct2D) can't be loaded. That either happens if you're on Windows Vista/XP (which is blocked much earlier in startup!), or ... the DLL is missing or corrupt or something.
