jaye310702 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Hi, So I had been using Paint.NET for a while. But, I recently brought a new computer, & now want to install paint.net onto it but, I cannot. I keep getting this Set-up Front End has Stopped Working message. I have tried googling a resolution to this issue, but no luck, or help. I'm hoping someone here can help me. If you can, great! & thanks in advance.

jaye310702 Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 Since I hadn't gotten a reply, I tried to dig deeper into this issue. I found that, my compatability doesn't match. Therefore the program won't install. Since I had windows 7 before and now have windows 8, I guess this should have been simply enough from the beginning to answer. I guess, now I have to hope that Paint.NET 4 comes out, soon. REALLY SOON!!! & then hope the best from there. I really hate to have to move to a new program, paint.net is like the best, and I just really wanted it on my new computer, I guess I can't. :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skullbonz Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 (edited) I am pretty sure you can install PDN on windows 8,check here; http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/25574-windows-8-app/#entry381300 and here; http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/399-frequently-asked-questions-faq/ Edited March 18, 2013 by skullbonz Quote http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/21233-skullbonz-art-gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDale Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Indeed you can install pdn on a windows 8 comp. I installed pdn without any front end stopped working prompt. It would first depend on where the OP downloaded pdn from in the first instance (I guess) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liveproject101 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 (edited) Clr20r3 error when installing paint.net I had Paint.NET installed on my laptop around 6 monthsago, and for whatever reason, one day the program just stopped working.It wouldn't open. I decided to try and install the latestversion of paint.NET. Again, this didn't work, and throws up an"Clr20r3" error, saying that "paint.net setupfrontend.exe has stoppedworking" and there is a "fileNotFoundException".

Ego Eram Reputo Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Found this on the internet: "Apparently this error is common with corrupt installs of the .net framework." I'd try a repair of the .NET framework first >> http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306160 If that doesn't work, copy and paste the full error message here with your full system specs.
