BravoLima2k4 Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 My hard drive recently was damaged and I'm trying to reinstall Paint.net but I get the below error message. I've deleted all paint.net files I can find on my computer but I still get it. If anyone else has had this problem and can help, I would really appreciate it. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 I don't recommend running the Paint.NET installer while it is still located inside of a zip file. Try unzipping that file to your desktop and execute it from there.

Pixey Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Please try this tool and then try to re-install. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17588/fix-problems-that-block-programs-from-being-installed-or-removed Afterwards, you should be able to install paint.net anew.

BravoLima2k4 Posted May 14, 2022 Author Share Posted May 14, 2022 That didn't work it says select the program, but I've used the program 'everything' to remove all the files on my PC so it won't show up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BravoLima2k4 Posted May 14, 2022 Author Share Posted May 14, 2022 That worked, thank you! By the way will the offline versions still get updates? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Brewster Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 The offline installer gets updates, just like the "online" installer. They install the same thing, they just pull the "bits" from different locations. The portable package does not get updates. You're currently responsible for managing it in that case.
