jofjahaca Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 The answer to this is probably all ready on the forum some place but I can't find it. My daughter sent me the link to download Paint.net. I download it fine. But that was the start of my problems. I click on the download to install and I receive the following message: Paint.NET requires that the .net Framework is intstalled. Click OK to go to Microsoft’s webpage where you may download and install this. (Sorry never mastered screenshots I click OK and go to Mircosoft get the download after 3 or 4 tries (have only dialup at this time). Try to install and get the following message: Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\my Downloads\dotnetfx.exe is not a valid Win32 application. I am sure it fully downloaded this time because I was sitting in front of the computer when it went into the final seconds. I really want to try Paint.Net and even though I am probably old enough to be some of your Mother or Grandmother I am fairly computer literate. My daughter evidently didn't have any trouble install Paint.Net on her computer but I am. Please help please :oops: Quote Never mistake knowledge for wisdom.

trickman Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 try to download PdN WITH .NET Framework available at: http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/Pa ... 96481993/2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Yeah if it says "not a valid Win32 application" then the download is obviously incomplete or corrupt / damaged. Since you saw it complete all the way to 100%, I'd put my bets on the latter. You can also get .NET Framework 2.0 through Windows Update, which uses a more failure safe download system.

jofjahaca Posted June 20, 2006 Author Share Posted June 20, 2006 Thank you. I'm going to my son's (he has a high speed connection) on Friday and will try to download it then copy it to a disk. (I think that will work.) My ISP has a bad habit of disconnecting on big downloads. I'll also try "trickman's" link. Thanks to both of you. Quote Never mistake knowledge for wisdom.

jofjahaca Posted June 24, 2006 Author Share Posted June 24, 2006 Okay I have Paint.NET downloaded and installed. Now the fun begins. I am just going to play around a little than do some serious work. I'll be back when I need some help. Thanks Quote Never mistake knowledge for wisdom. One helps you make a living; the other helps you make a life.
