dskirk Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 I receive a message during install that a file is needed from a CD or other location. The file name is PaintDotNet_x64_1889275569.msi I am using Windows 7 Pro, 64-bit, and previously had no problem installing prior versions. Any tips are welcome. Thanks.

toe_head2001 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Your current paint.net installation has become broken. You can use this utility to remove the broken installation: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17588/fix-problems-that-block-programs-from-being-installed-or-removed Afterwards, you can install paint.net anew.

dskirk Posted April 3, 2019 Author Share Posted April 3, 2019 Thanks much for your prompt response. I tried that, but paint.net doesn't show in list. (I had removed older version a few months ago.) So, I did the following which worked (a bit to my surprise): - I did the reinstall and when it stopped with the message that I needed that file, I copied the contest of the folder and stored in a separate folder - when I canceled the install, the contents of original folder were removed. I then copied the temporary folder contents back. - I then copied in the paint.net config file I had earlier set up for portable use - and it works fine. I have no idea what that missing file was to do, but I'm all set now. Thanks again for your suggestion. david Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
