357mag Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 I remember the last time I loaded Windows 7 and tried to install paint.net it would not install. I got an error message. I cannot recall what the message was but I think I was trying to install the .net framework. Is anyone use paint.net with Windows 7 successfully?

toe_head2001 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Yes, Paint.NET works on Windows 7. Quote (September 25th, 2023) Sorry about any broken images in my posts. I am aware of the issue.

Rick Brewster Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 If there's an error then please post what it is. Otherwise we have no idea what the issue is, or if it's just a configuration problem or lack of Windows Updates.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 To run PDN under Win7 you need to have SP1 with Platform Update installed.

Rick Brewster Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 btw @Ego Eram Reputo, You only need SP1 installed now. The installer will download+install the Platform Update if necessary.

Maybe that was it. I didn't have that Platform Update installed. I never heard of it. But if the installer is supposed to download it automatically I don't know what went wrong.
