Dosiant 0 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 (edited) (Sorry for my bad grammar and english) So I tried unistalling paint.net by deleting the folder, instead of using the control panel. The reason is because im an idiot, i thought it will just comeback whenever i want to install it back. This is some information of the problem: Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Uninstall paint.net doesn't work. It comes up with this: https://imgur.com/cGWTXQn . Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Repair Paint.NET doesnt work either. It comes up with this: https://imgur.com/Kczc4uR https://imgur.com/2NpJu7v https://imgur.com/5EIFNn5 . I also can't install it back, i can't uninstall and install paint.net. I only found one old post from 2011 that has the same problem as me, but it is pretty old so idk, this is the post: https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/21378-accidentally-deleted-installation-folder/?tab=comments#comment-370712 . Some info: OS -> Windows 10 paint.net verion -> 4.2.14 Please reply devs. Edited December 7, 2020 by Dosiant Quote Link to post Share on other sites
null54 774 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 First, check your Recycle Bin for the paint.net installation folder. If it is not there you will need to use the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility to remove the broken paint.net installation.
