Dorrie Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 I am embarrassed to be the only one here with this problem :? I have V2.0 installed and it works great for me. I saw on your website that an update was available, so downloaded and unzipped the V2.1b file. Now I am stymied on how to install the update. The instructions in the src readme.txt require the use of a VERY expensive program -- "Visual Studio .NET 2003 Professional", which of course, I don't have. However, the readme in the Programs folder gives different directions and says to place "dotnetfx.exe in this directory" and gives the URL for acquiring it from Microsoft. It says, alternatively, I can place "any executable in here and name it dotnetfx.exe." I'm afraid I don't know precisely what is meant by "any executable" and where is "here"? If installing v2.1 is too difficult to explain in this forum, perhaps I should just continue using v2.0 and forget the update. Thanks in advance for your advice!

Rick Brewster Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 You downloaded the source code. You want just the installer -- it's under 5mb. Here's a direct link: http://www.eecs.wsu.edu/paint.net/files ... t_2_1b.msi I highly recommend downloading the v2.2 Alpha 2, however. It has some really great new features and will even tell you when newer versions are available: http://www.eecs.wsu.edu/paint.net/files ...

Dorrie Posted September 9, 2005 Author Share Posted September 9, 2005 Thank you, Mr. Brewster, for your reply! I have taken your advice and downloaded the V2.2 Alpha 2. Without your recommendation, I wouldn't have presumed to be knowledgeable enough to use an alpha version of any application; I thought that was just for the most experienced computer users. I am anxious now to try it out and see the new features for myself! One more question, though -- before I click on the exe file, am I supposed to uninstall the V2.0 from my computer? Thank you, again, for your help -- it is appreciated! Dorrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 No need to uninstall the old version. The new setup exe will automatically do that for you.
