Unable to install Paint.net on W7 x86

[PommeGranny]

Hi,

I'm trying to install Paint.Net on my laptop. It's a HP 6930p with a legit up-to-date Windows 7 Home Premium 32 Bits.

When I double-click on the setup file, I have a Paint.Net window that pops up saying it's extracting files. Shortly after that, the window closes and a new one appears for less than a second. Then, nothing happens... Not even an error message.

There is no trace of a previous installation, not in Windows "Programs", not in Revo Uninstaller, not in Windows Install Clean-Up.

- I launched the executable file with administrator rights

- I deactivated my antivirus (AVG 2011)

- I cleaned up my temp folder

- I restarted the computer

- I tried with Windows XP compatibility

I may have forgotten to list some steps I already did.

The only log file I have in my %temp% folder is the "PdnSetupShim.log" (I used to have the other ones, but I deleted it for troubleshooting reasons and they do not appear anymore), here is the content :

--- Paint.NET SetupShim starting, lpCmdLine='/suppressReboot', nCmdShow=10

Could someone please help me ?

Thank you

edit : I didn't empty the recycle bin, so I still have my "PdnSetupNgenInstall" file :

do you have XP? if so do you have Service Pack 3 installed? i had a problem because i didn't have SP3 that prevented PDN installing

The thread title says W7 and the post says Windows 7 and the log says bIsWin7 = true...

The return code from the installer is c0000022. A quick web search shows this means something related to "access denied."

- I tried with Windows XP compatibility

Bad idea. It usually hurts more if you "push random buttons" in an attempt to solve something like this. (This can be bad along with "oh I went into the registry and deleted anything that said Paint.NET." This causes us developers to cringe and cry.)
