Emy Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Hello everyone. I never had any problem with paint.NET, but today it seems that the applications doesn't work. I can't even open it. All I have is this message and I don't understand what's the matter. It's the most recent version (4.0.12) and I already tried to uninstall / install... Thanks for help.

Swankyfrank Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 This question may have no bearing on your problem, do you have "D" drive ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toe_head2001 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Don't worry about a "D:\" drive, as it is irrelevant to your issue. Looks like the error dialog is saying an external component caused an exception. It's not clear (to me at least) what that external component is though.

Rick Brewster Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 The D:\ drive stuff is just the paths to the source code on my machine where I compile Paint.NET. It has nothing to do with your system.

Rick Brewster Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 My recommendation for this type of problem is: Reboot and try again If still having problems, make sure you're completely caught up with all Windows Updates. If still having problems, do a Repair on the .NET Framework from within the relevant control panel (did they rename it in the latest Win10? Used to be "Programs and Features") That's all I've got right now. This "SEHException" stands for (Structured Exception Handling) Exception. Some type of native Win32 error is being jammed into Paint.NET from something else. I don't have a good explanation for this, it could kinda be any number of things.

Emy Posted December 6, 2016 Author Share Posted December 6, 2016 @Pixey I've tried one again. Uninstall Paint.NET, follow their instructions and then install it. Same result... I swear I have followed all of your instructions (twice *sobs*) @Rick Yeah I was thinking it was because of updates but they are all done, even the minors. The reboot was my first try. I just repaired it. Same result. I'm going crazy. Should I wait for the next update ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixey Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I am also sad it's still broken and hope that Rick will be able to offer another solution. Good luck!

My installer asked if I wanted to allow this program to make changes, agreed, Paint.net installed but the agree box was still up so I clicked no, I'm not having any problems now but I have to get around to reinstalling all the plugins. I'm on the Anniversary edition of Windows 10 Wish you luck and hope to see some of your work here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roly Poly Goblinoli Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 (edited) It's a shot in the dark, but maybe you could try running it in compatibility mode or as an administrator. I don't expect it to work, though. Edited January 9, 2017 by AnthonyScoffler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
