mcamp14 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Both PDN and Visual Studio 2008 use the .NET Framework. You might need to reinstall the .NET Framework, especially the newest version.

trajectory Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I just experienced the same issue. It's a nasty one, since Visual Studio doesn't start up, and can't be reinstalled. I had to do a system restore to the point before the Paint.NET update occurred. (It didn't even occur to me for a long time that it was Paint.NET to blame, since I had unthinkingly accepted the update late Friday and saw the Visual Studio problem Monday morning). So I think there might be an issue here that needs resolving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Make sure that you've installed all the updates for Visual Studio itself. There was one released last fall which was very important, but that doesn't seem to be ubuquitous yet. It affects the Visual C++ Runtimes, and that's probably what's causing this issue. Basically, Paint.NET is installing a newer version of the C++ runtimes than Visual Studio (that is, the not-updated Visual Studio) is able to deal with.
