acbex Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I run PaintNet 4.27 on Windows 7 Pro (64 bit) SP1. I have tried several times over the past couple of weeks to try to update to 4.28. I always get this error message: "There was an error while checking for updates. There was an error decompressing the download." I searched the forum for 'updates' and could not find this issue addressed. Does anyone else have this problem, and if so, what is the solution?

BoltBait Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 We all love Win7, but you need to update your operating system. Windows 7 is being end-of-lifed next month.

Rick Brewster Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Windows 7 is still supported though. I haven't decided how long Paint.NET will continue supporting it, but likely as long as Chrome or Firefox do. You should be able to get this fixed by running PdnRepair.exe from the application directory. Let us know if it still gives you trouble.

acbex Posted January 18, 2020 Author Share Posted January 18, 2020 Rick: That fixed it! Now updated to 4.28. Thanks so much. And thanks for continuing to support Windows 7. I remember how long it took me to update from XP to Win 7 and get everything set the way I like to operate. I am not quite ready to do that again--especially at my age.

Rick Brewster Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Yeah it's really even not that big of a change, in my opinion. (going from 7 to 10, I mean) Better to get started on it now -- it's only going to get harder as time goes on 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...
ant Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 I had this problem too. Repair fixed it even though I didn't reboot. :P W7 4ever like I did with XP Pro. SP3. I might go Linux fully after W7 gets too old and useless on my decade old PC. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
