Sarkut Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 (edited) Looks like NET Framework problem. NET 3.0 Go to: Control Panel > Programs and Features Position things so that all Microsoft NET Framework versions are visible. Post a screenshot. Will probably need to repair/re-install NET Framework. ===================================================== Also, want to be sure that you have seen this thread.

Sarkut Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Okay. Let's try this. If you have an older version of Paint.NET installed still, uninstall it first. Probably should then uninstall NET 4 first, then uninstall NET 3.5 SP1. Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup utility linked to here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290301 Download NET 3.5 SP1. http://download.microsoft.com/download/2/0/e/20e90413-712f-438c-988e-fdaa79a8ac3d/dotnetfx35.exe Reboot your PC. Install NET 3.5 SP1. Reboot again. Install the current stable version of Paint.NET. v.3.5.4 (Not the beta) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 If you're on Vista, only having .NET 4 installed currently won't work. Vista comes with .NET 3.0, which uses the 2.0 Runtime shared with .NET 3.5 SP1, and that tricks up the version binding at startup. Install .NET 3.5 SP1 and you'll be good to go. I'm looking to fix this for the final release but it may not be possible.
