error 1603 during installation.

[kevincrans]

I have problems while installing the newest version of paint.net and get the error 1603, and none of the solutions I found on the community worked for me.

 

Some things that may be important:

 

I see that an older version is still installed in the control panel, while it doesnt appear in the program files-folder

, but it wont uninstall because it says:"There is a problem with this Windows Installer package.".

 

I tried reinstalling Microsoft .Net framework but it displays that it or a newer version is already installed, but it is not.

 

Does someone know how to fix any of those errors?

 

Thanks in advance!

What happened when you ran this tool?

Did it find the broken paint.net installation? Did it allow you to remove the broken installation?

Hello toe_head2001,

 

Thanks for your response!

When I click install it doesn't find it, when I click remove it asks for a class-id.

I don't know what that is and where I can find it since the program is not installed.

Do you know where I can find it because googling didn't help that much?

I am having the same issue but this link does not work anymore. 

Does anyone know where I can get this program now?
