Whirlygig Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 (edited) Hello. I am on Windows 11, and I have had paint.net for a while now. After updating it, it would no longer open. I restarted my computer, which did nothing. I then uninstalled paint.net, and now whenever I try to install it, I get this error. I have tried uninstalling then reinstalling the installer, removing every trace of paint.net from my computer, and even running the installer as admin, and still no luck. any help would be very appreciated!

Pixey Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 You could also try the offline installer: https://github.com/paintdotnet/release/releases Quote How I made Jennifer & Halle in Paint.net My Gallery | My Deviant Art "Rescuing one animal may not change the world, but for that animal their world is changed forever!" anon.

I have tried the other installers, but was still met with the same error. Thank you, though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
