Paint.net no longer works!

[Mana94]

Idk why, it just stopped working. I got a trojan called msa.exe. It's gone now though.

I noticed afterwards pdn wouldn't work. I clicked the paint.net repain tool and that no longer worked eigther.

The whole paint.net folder was broken! I am not sure what it's from... So I deleted it and I am trying to install 3.5.1, but it doesn't work. When the .Net framework is installing, once it gets to 40% it closes for no apparent reason.

Btw, I am using vista. Please provide any help you can, thanks

Same problem with XP SP2

I tried to update to 3.5.1, it quitted around 30% of net.framework

the 3.36 version did not work any more

pdnrepair created an empty logfile

I got this window

Reinstallinitg did not work

deleting net.framework 1.1,2.2,3.0 did not help. they would not re-install properly

I tried Windows Installer Cleaner to no avail.

Restoring to a date before the problem did not change anything, 3.36 did not work ,

I got the same window as mentionned above

I have A-squared Anti Malware, It does not detecte any virus.

Help, please, I am stymied. I loved Paint.net,I can't do without it

walterg:

Your first step has to be getting the NET framework reinstalled properly.

For help with that, do a Google search for --- Windows XP tech support forum.

If Paint.NET still won't install after reinstalling up to the

NET Framework 3.5 SP1, then come back here and create

a new topic about the problem.

Can I have the link to some older versions? I used the older version and I was perfectly fine with it, it installed fine too.
