the installation usually follows through as normal, but when it ends extracting it says the following: "Installation of paint.net failed" with the error code (-1073740791, 0xC0000409)

ive got the latest version of the .NET framework

0xC0000409 is STATUS_STACK_BUFFER_OVERRUN. This may indicate some kind of hardware failure, such as memory going bad, or maybe corrupted system files (which could be a failing hard drive).

Who knows if you actually have a hardware issue? Maybe you do, maybe you don't.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

Perhaps you just bypass that error in standard installer by using the offline installer.

If the offline installer fails, then yeah, you must have bigger issues to deal with.

Perhaps you'll need to run chkdsk, or even replace some hardware components.

(September 25th, 2023)  Sorry about any broken images in my posts. I am aware of the issue.

yeah it didnt work, i guess i'll have to use something else until i get this fixed, thanks for the help! 

might be the OS though, as ive reinstalled it without formatting beforehand by mistake so i guess ill have to reinstall it again or just download another one entirely

 

also if you dont mind answering:

i tried using the system file checker but it didnt work so does that confirm that its the OS or the hdd? or something else?
