Misc bug, installation related

[f3llony]

Greetings!

First time using PaintNET my installation has failed, i consider its becouse of

i had splited my program files and documents and settings folder @ my win xp

home sp3 to another drive eg my windows installation are on drive c: but for

optimization purposes i moved program files and my documents folders to drive E:

and as far as i consider, thats cousing problem. This could be quite major bug

as far cloning the PaintNET files from another installation is running quite

fine under my settup. Ill take a look at this when ill hawe some free time, but

i still think this is quite serious and dev team must know it, becouse this is

totally preventing installation. Maybe Paint net needs its own installer package not .msi?

Hi,

I'm experiencing the same issue installing version 3.5.3 and after that 3.5.4 aswell.

This is happening with a clean new unattended Windows XP SP3 with dotNet3.5SP1 setup.

Installing paint.net from .msi silent 7zSFX in unattended mode at T13.(after dotNET3.5)

Before up to version 3.5.2 this allways ran fine without any error.

Now I have following error in event viewer:

Installing paint.net from .msi silent 7zSFX in unattended mode at T13.

I have no idea what you're talking about here. Maybe that's the cause.

Just run the normal installer!

[jaynbe]

This is the OEM method used to make Windows install CD's

Official .msi files are run with cmd parameters ("/qn" for silent install) at 13 minute stage before setup end.

For unattended installation you shouldn't use the MSI. Run the installer with /auto.

Paint.NET's MSI is for large-scale network deployment via AD/GPO, and does not support auto-update.

f3llony,

Paint.NET was updated to a new version on Feb. 26.

Perhaps the new version will install for you.

Well, there were no changes to install/update in the latest v3.5.4 update. Sometimes a change in version does magically work though *shrug*
