hanspeter Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Microsoft Store says that I own the app paint.net. Where can I see this in the app? /hans peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toe_head2001 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 You'll need to install it from the Microsoft Store. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4479732/get-apps-from-microsoft-store-on-windows-10-pc Quote (September 25th, 2023) Sorry about any broken images in my posts.

hanspeter Posted May 24, 2020 Author Share Posted May 24, 2020 It's already installd. I want to know if I have bought it from Mcrosoft Store och donated for it. Where can I control this? /hans peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toe_head2001 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Oh, I see. I misunderstood. 1) Start Paint.NET. 2) Open the Paint.NET Settings from the icon in the upper-right. 3) Select Diagnostics on the left panel. 4) The "Install type" is the third item down.

hanspeter Posted May 24, 2020 Author Share Posted May 24, 2020 Thank you toe_head2001. What means Installtype: Classic? /hans pter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toe_head2001 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Classic means that Paint.NET was not installed from the Microsoft Store.

hanspeter Posted May 24, 2020 Author Share Posted May 24, 2020 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? /hans peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toe_head2001 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 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. Quote (September 25th, 2023) Sorry about any broken images in my posts. I am aware of the issue.

hanspeter Posted May 25, 2020 Author Share Posted May 25, 2020 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? / hans peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

hanspeter Posted May 25, 2020 Author Share Posted May 25, 2020 (edited) Paintnet-konverterad.pdf How do I delete this link? I want to send you an image but need help to do this. /hans peter Edited May 25, 2020 by hanspeter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toe_head2001 Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Seems like you have both Classic and Store variants installed. Make sure the Classic variant is completely closed, and then try to open the Store variant. Quote (September 25th, 2023) Sorry about any broken images in my posts. I am aware of the issue.

hanspeter Posted May 26, 2020 Author Share Posted May 26, 2020 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? /hans peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hanspeter Posted May 26, 2020 Author Share Posted May 26, 2020 (edited) Thank you, toe_head2001 ! Is AppX the Buy-version? /hans peter Edited May 26, 2020 by hanspeter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Brewster Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 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.

hanspeter Posted May 26, 2020 Author Share Posted May 26, 2020 (edited) 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. /hans peter Edited May 27, 2020 by hanspeter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
