ana Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 I'm not sure if there's already a forum about this, but I need help. I had Paint.NET previously but since then, uninstalled it. I just recently reinstalled it, but every time I try to open the program, this window pops up saying that some type of system configuration has failed. What do I do???

Pixey Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Hello @ana an Welcome. It may be a good idea to use this tool: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/mats/program_install_and_uninstall And then download PDN again from here: http://www.dotpdn.com/downloads/pdn.html 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.

Pixey Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Hopefully someone more tech-minded than myself will log on and help you soon. However, until then, can you please tell us what OS system you are using? i.e Windows 10, or 7 or whatever.

Pixey Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Whilst we wait for a tech there is one more thing I can suggest. Go to OS(C) Program Files Paint.net - and in that folder look for the paint.netRepair.exe and click on that.

BoltBait Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Be aware that paint.net has trouble with Windows 8. Can you upgrade your OS to Windows 8.1? It is a free upgrade from MS.

Rick Brewster Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 I'm pretty close to removing support for Windows 8 (not 8.1!). Microsoft doesn't even support it. And why should they? You really should have 8.1 installed by now. Just like if you're a Windows 7 user you should have SP1 installed. Case in point: the latest version of .NET Framework that you can install on 8 is .NET 4.6.1. You can't install 4.6.2, nor 4.7. You can install both of those on Windows 7 SP1 though. And since Paint.NET will be moving to .NET 4.7 in the not-too-distant future, Windows 8 (not 8.1!) support is also going away.

What a terrible OS release. I mean ... just really embarrassing stuff.
