Markz CLone1 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Hay guys. for some reason Paint.Net got removed from my computer. when I tried to reinstall the latest version (which i already had installed) i kept getting one or other of these errors. Error 1: There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Error 2: A network error occurred while attempting to read from the file: C:\Paint.NET\Staging\PaintDotNet_816000109.msi Those are the error boxes exactly as they appear on the screen. I have tried different Paint.Net installer files. I reinstalled the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1. What else can I do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juraiko1324 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Well, first, you might want to make sure that there are NO remnants of the PDN files left... =/ Quote -I may have not been here when you passed away, but you will be missed.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markz CLone1 Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 100% sure that there is nothing relating to Paint.Net. I did a search for it and nothing came up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juraiko1324 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Install all available Windows updates. Quote -I may have not been here when you passed away, but you will be missed.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markz CLone1 Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 Just hit the update button thing and it said that there was one update so ill install that and see how things go. UPDATE: I installed every available update for Vista including the optional ones and i still get the same errors. What else can i do to fix it? I have had V3.36 installed on this computer before and nothing has changed since it was uninstalled. UPDATE 2: I just looked at the add/remove program thingy and there is a PDN thing there. I tryed uninstalling it but i get the same errors. Is there anything i can do? UPDATE 3: The 3rd, and final. I have sort of solved the problem. I stole the Paint.NET folder off the other computer that we have and put it where it should go and this has sort of solved the problem. I still cant unistall it via the program and features menu but ive got PDN back so yeah. Any help on how to fix that part of the prob will be helpful.

HITMAN-X- Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Did you try the Windows Installer Clean Up Tool that was posted in the sticky above and is know to fix Paint.NET when it can't be uninstall or installed do to another copy of it still being seen on your computer.

DominatorGTR Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Make sure you still have .NET Framework installed, its best to get the latest one. Quote >>Domz45<< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Try replacing the file in the Staging directory using this method : viewtopic.php?p=253721#p253721 Quote No. Way. I've just seen Bob. And... *poof!*—just like that—he disappears into the mist again. ~Helio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 you could find a solution in one of the posts: viewtopic.php?p=253721#p253721 viewtopic.php?f=10&t=29335 viewtopic.php?f=10&t=29344 even though you may have vista, the solution to one may work in vista.. if you have net framework 1, 1.1, 2, 3.1, 3.5 etc..etc.. you may still be able to get it to work using the one method mentioned of uninstalling all of them then reinstalling in numerical order..I would suggest first that you get the net frameworks for which you can download and install manually from Microsofts website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
