BoltBait Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 You haven't actually installed it yet. That shield tells you that you need admin privileges to install Paint.NET. 1 Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicMarvelo Posted May 25, 2018 Author Share Posted May 25, 2018 So it needs admin to install but the program itself is not admin? Is the installer safe? Giving admin is a bit.......unsafe, you know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 If you downloaded it from the official website, then yes, it is safe. Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laww Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 You need to provide the installer with admin permissions so it will be able to write in the "Program Files" folder, as Windows requires that. It's safe, trust me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 You can also get Paint.NET on the Windows Store, which doesn't have the admin requirement. And, it keeps itself up-to-date without any prompts for you to click on and installers to wait for. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/paintnet/9nbhcs1lx4r0 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...
MagicMarvelo Posted May 28, 2018 Author Share Posted May 28, 2018 +Laww I already downloaded paint.net and its safe, and my answer is already answered, but thanks for why it needs admin permissions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
