Titanium Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Okay, so I made a whole new user account on my computer, and I cannot install Paint.NET. When I do, it says error 1603 and I have to click "finish". Please help! Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Hello Titanium, welcome to the forum. The 1603 error is well known - so you are not alone! Start by reading through this thread: http://forums.getpai...uble-read-this/ After you have read it all, have another look at post #8 and see if that helps.

Titanium Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 (edited) Why's that? -- Also, I did #2 and it still doesn't work. You said to try #4? Edited March 19, 2012 by Titanium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titanium Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 Oh, and #4 didn't work for me either yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Don't worry about the thread title I think that "Installation 1603 error" is more than adequate as a descriptive title. I mentioned post #8 because in that post Rick linked to the possible solution.

And I don't know how to tell if my systeminstaller.exe is corrupted. [From link you gave me], how could I? Thanks for all the help, guys. I means a lot. I was so disappointed when it consistently wouldn't download, and I know you guys will be able to help me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 There are many ways to skin a cat. Try Google or Bing + "TrustedInstaller.exe" Quote ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 If you think your system files are corrupt, DO NOT DOWNLOAD THEM FROM THE INTERNET. That's just about the worst possible thing you could do. Open an administrator command prompt and run "sfc /SCANNOW". It will find and automatically fix corrupt or hacked system files. It's part of Windows. And install Microsoft Security Essentials while you're at it, it's free.

Ok, I typed "sfc /SCANNOW" in my start search-thing, and a block box [command prompt] appeared for like .5 seconds, and went away. So I just now download Microsoft Security Essentials and I should be fine to download Paint.NET? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titanium Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 I don't know, it's your computer? My computer's new. I got it in February. It's runs on Windows 7 if you're wondering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
