Fatal error during installation.

[TooManyBugs]

I used to love paint.net... and then it just got worse and worse.

Now the updates don't even install without vague 0-info errors:

 

> Fatal error during installation.

 

Absolute no other info is given.

Ugh.

In what way has it got worse and worse?

The paint.net user base is huge and the consensus seems to be that it is getting better and better with every new release.

What version of Windows are you using?
 

What version of paint.net are you upgrading from/to?  Or is this a brand new installation of the current 5.0.13 version?

Please post a screenshot showing the error message.


Nothing can be done to help you without some basic information first.

I'm having this same problem...

Is there a way around this.

I'm on a company computer with windows 11 so partly limited to setting changes on the actual pc.

Had Paint.net installed and used daily until I tried to reinstall it.

Even donated via paypal at the beginning... on a different computer.
