BoltBait Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Usually this message only comes up when you are behind on Windows Updates. Apply all Windows Updates and try again.

It will be installed when you run Windows Update. SP1 will be installed before the Platform Update though. 1 hour ago, JustGabeNoice said: i used to use it on this same laptop tho, Then you were using a very old version of Paint.NET, or you reinstalled Windows 7 without apply any of its updates.

BoltBait Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 12 minutes ago, JustGabeNoice said: could you send it? No. You need to run your Windows Updates. And, keep doing that over and over again until it tells you that you are up-to-date. THEN try to install Paint.NET. This is the only support you will receive on this message board. 1 Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
