walkthewalk Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 After updating to Paint.NET 3.5.1, Visual Studio 2008 .NET SP1 would not load. Error dialog on splash screen read: Microsoft Visual Studio cannot find one or more components. Please reinstall the application. Fix was to rollback to the pre-install system restore check point. Previous version was Paint.NET v3.5 (Final Release build 3.50.3596.41598) Install was through prompt on start of Paint.NET, then selecting update at shut down. VS.NET was open during the update. OS Win XP SP 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrochild Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 VS.NET was open during the update. Almost every installer in the history of ever says that you should close all other open programs before installing. Did you at least give this a try? Fix was to rollback to the pre-install system restore check point. Can you believe just the other day we had someone complaining that the system restore point was unnecessary and too time-consuming?

Did you at least give this a try? Fair point, they do. But, for example, the Office installer warns and stops you if you have something open that needs to be shut. I haven't had a chance to do a reinstall of Paint.NET yet, as have too much VS.NET work on at the moment to risk any problems. I'll post if I do.

tclement@serena.com Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Same problem here. Just let me ask this, does this product use Windows Installer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Yes, Paint.NET uses Windows Installer. Make sure that your Visual Studio installation is completely up-to-date, btw. There were some security updates that came out several months ago that were a little disruptive. It had to do with the Visual C++ runtimes (CRT, ATL, MFC).

hhager Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Got similar problem. But I updated to 3.5.2. I updated more than a week ago. Hate to roll back that far. Have runned the setup for Visual Studio and for Visual Studio SP1 and chose repaired. Got the error there too. Any advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtisaurus Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I too had this problem this morning. I probably had VS open as I'm lazy like that I guess. Never had an issue with it before, but found a fix online today. http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums ... 3ad258a5af "Hey guys, I too had this same issue, although I'm not sure what triggered it. Dependency Walker was telling me that dwmapi was missing (i'm running XP sp3) and getting that dll and putting in the lcoation it was telling me only made more errors. I finally found this thread, and started looking around the Windows directory and found that the atl90 dll was in fact missing in one of the four C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.VC90.ATL_ directories. " So basically, find (hopefully) the atl90.dll file in one of the 4 C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.VC90.ATL_* directories and plop it into any of the remaining 4 that don't have it. That fixed it on my end anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hhager Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I uninstalled Paint.NET. Now VS works. I guess I could reinstall Paint.NET without VS running... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 You should turn on Microsoft Update. That way, Visual Studio will be automatically kept up-to-date and you won't have to worry about any of this.
