Unable to install

[chrislah]

When i dl newest version when i try too install it'll install the .Net 3.5 Client Profile and get too about 10% and then stop installing and close.

Try uninstalling the old version first. That usually helps.

I tried to install also. Got 1603 fatal error unable to install. Checked add/remove programs for old version, couldn't find it. downloaded windows installer, and paint wasn't listed.

Are you guys using the installer built into paint.net?

[Sherman McCoy]

Yes I am. I also downloaded Windows Installer clean up at someone's suggestion. I also tried installing 3.5.2 to several different directories, and no luck. Very frustrated. Seems like this is a common bug the Paint.net folks should fix.

I would love to fix it, but I've never ever been able to reproduce this in the 6 years that Paint.NET has been around.

how wierd...i reinstalled sp3 for xp but that didnt fix it at all....maybe going to an older version of paint.net would work? Well i dried to download and install to a previous 2.16 and it did the same thing saying i didnt have frameworks 1.1 installed and i need to get it yet i have 2.0 instyalled..odd
