pcsurgeons1 Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Hi all, I'm sure glad there are forums out there because I'm at a loss on this thus far. Paint.net has an update available to 3.5.6 from 3.5.5. When I go to install the new version part of that process is uninstalling the old version. It seems to error out at this point and gives me the error 1603, however, through research I've found a way to provide more specific details by looking at the PdnMsiInstall file at it says... === Logging started: 12/10/2010 17:03:47 ===Error 1722. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Action _8FBBBB09_39E3_48BB_9E6C_620898EF3CD9, location: C:\Program Files\Paint.NET\SetupNgen.exe, command: /delete DESKTOPSHORTCUT=1 PDNUPDATING= SKIPCLEANUP=1 "PROGRAMSGROUP=" QUEUENGEN= === Logging stopped: 12/10/2010 17:03:53 === I've tried several things that Paint.net forums suggests as well as google my butt off, but nothing seems to work. I have tried disabling my anti-virus and firewall repairing .net framework uninstalling and reinstalling .net framework 4 client profile repairing paint.net (errors out) Making sure the 'Windows Modulur Installer' is set to manual, not disabled re-registering msi installer maybe some others...
