Buy the app paint.net


Recommended Posts

Oh, I see. I misunderstood.

 

1) Start Paint.NET.

2) Open the Paint.NET Settings :Settings: from the icon in the upper-right.

3) Select Diagnostics  on the left panel.

4) The "Install type" is the third item down.

Meanwhile I have read this otherwise. 

Since the Microsoft store says I already own paint.net, I conclude that I need to uninstall paint.net if I want to buy it from Microsoft store instead. Is it right?

Technically, no. You can have both (Classic and Store) distributions of paint.net installed at the same time.  It's usually more practical to just install one of them though.

I want to change from Classic to Store (because I forget all the time how many donations I have made.)
I encounter the following problems:
1) Microsoft Store refuses to deliver the paid version because I already have the Classic version.
2) I uninstall the Classic version, but I still can't download the pay version for the same reason.
3) Now I am completely without paint.net and do a systemrestore. However, Paint.net does not start after that and I receive an error message.
4) After much googling, I find a place that describes how to repair apps in Win10. Now paint.net actually works again. As Classic.
But how do you change from Classic to Store in real?

This is false.

Show us a screenshot of the actual message the Microsoft Store shows when you try to install.

I found these two and uninstalled both. When I downloaded the pay version of paint.net, the Microsoft Store still informed me that I already owned it.

But I was able to download and install. I think 🤔. My installer type is at least now called AppX.

One question: where can I find the exe file for paint.net which I can make a shortcut from?

btw I'm planning on making this easier.

 

For instance, if you have both installed then when you launch one you'll see a message, "Hey you have both installed ... you want to uninstall the 'classic' version right?" and a button that just does it for you.

That's great. However, there was a problem already in the Microsoft Store that did not let me install the buy version. Have tried to illustrate this in the attached image. Not even when I uninstalled Classic in the usual way. With toe_head2001's help, however, I now have a working app.
