I cannot Re-Install after uninstalling the Paint.NET

I don't know what caused it, but Paint.Net, simply didn't open. I press it to open and it instantly crashes. Then I decided to uninstall it to re-install it.

But once I attempted to re-install, I got this message once I tried using installer:

---------------------------
(null)
---------------------------
System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'PaintDotNet.PdnInfo' threw an exception. ---> System.ArgumentException: Customized cultures cannot be passed by LCID, only by name.

OK

I copied PdnRepair from other PC to use it - it Didn't work:

 

I tried using installation fixer MicrosoftProgram_Install_and_Uninstall.meta - it didn't work. Using the uninstall option and typing in the Paint.net's product key in it only deleted some files of it, but still didn't solve anything. 

 

Edit: After that I thought that maybe some registry keys are making it behave like that, so I deleted all registry keys that had "Paint.Net" and "PaintDotNet" words in them.

Still no effect.

What do your Region settings in Windows look like? Have you customized any of these settings?

 

 

These settings can be accessed in the Control Panel and in Settings (on Windows 10).

Also, if you're trying to install Paint.NET v3.5, we will not offer special help for that.  Here on the forum, support is only offered for the most recent version of Paint.NET.

Tried it.

 

I saw the difference.

in Language format there was:

English (Europe)

 

Then I switched to:

English (United States) 

It worked!

 

Now I'm curious: Why does English (Europe) and English (United States) makes a difference for Paint Dot Net?

 

And yes, I use old version of Paint.Net, because it runs well for me. And also because newest version of Net. Framework cannot be installed, because my hardware is too old to install it or something like that. But still.

 

Thank you for the help, despite me using older version. I'm glad that the problem/solution here was in the area of support of your. Thank you.
