I have a slightly different problem, but didn't want to create yet another install problem post. I have .NET 2.0. I don't have .NET 3.5, never did, and don't want it. Yet somehow, there's a Paint.NET 3.36 on my machine that I can't get rid of. Now you say, duh, install .NET3.5, nuke paint.net, nuke .net3.5. But I say, no friggin way, I do not want all the baggage that comes with installing .NET 3.5 (windows updater, etc.)

I just want my old friend Paint.NET 3.31 - am I screwed?

well then, how very odd. In fact, my paintdotnet.config contains ". Nevertheless, when I try to run (or uninstall) paintdotnet.exe v3.36.3158.38068, I get the following error:

"This application requires .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 or greater. To download..."

You should install .NET 3.5 SP1. I'm not sure what it did to offend you, but I'm sure it's sorry.

deleting *.exe.config in the install directory fixed me up. Glad I found your (more helpful) post on blog.getpaint.net. You don't really want the full "windows update (3.5 prereq) is a virus" rant, do you? :?
