Blecker Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 When I try installing the new version of Paint.net it stops here every single time. I honestly don't know what to do here. I've tried .NET Framework, Microsoft's Program Install & Uninstall Troubleshooter. Does anyone know how to fix this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toe_head2001 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 (edited) Who knows. I suggest doing an install with MSI logging turned on. That can probably give you a clue. Run these two commands in your terminal. The first command creates an MSI file for paint.net. The second command executes that MSI file with logging. paint.net.4.2.15.install.exe /CreateMsi /auto msiexec /i %UserProfile%\Desktop\PaintDotNetMsi\PaintDotNet_x64.msi /L*V %UserProfile%\Desktop\pdn.log Edited February 13, 2021 by toe_head2001 Quote (September 25th, 2023) Sorry about any broken images in my posts.

Blecker Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share Posted February 13, 2021 I should also mention that it technically does get installed, but if the computer is rebooted it gets uninstalled again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toe_head2001 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Okay, it sounds like you're contradicting yourself. First you said the installation stops at a specific point of the installation. Then you said paint.net does get installed. Please re-state your issue in full from the beginning. Please also post a screenshot showing that the paint.net installation finished successfully, if applicable. Quote (September 25th, 2023) Sorry about any broken images in my posts.

Blecker Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share Posted February 13, 2021 (edited) It's more like an unfinished installation that's what I mean. EDIT: Looking at this again it doesn't actually get installed but I'm somehow able to use it if I force close the installation? I have no idea why it does this...

toe_head2001 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Okay, well, I still recommend doing the MSI installation, since it will give you verbose logging.

Blecker Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share Posted February 16, 2021 I tried the two commands and got this result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toe_head2001 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 That message will show if the MSI file doesn't exist. Please make sure the first command successfullly created the MSI file.

Not Norton I hope! 1 Quote How I made Jennifer & Halle in Paint.net My Gallery | My Deviant Art "Rescuing one animal may not change the world, but for that animal their world is changed forever!" anon.
