QuestionableQuestions Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Hello I'm trying to install Paint.NET onto my computer but I keep getting the message "Error opening file for writing." I did not have trouble installing paint.NET onto my laptop. I do not have my laptop anymore so that why I was trying to put it on my computer. Could I get some help with my situation?

BoltBait Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 What OS are you installing on? Are you using the admin account of that OS? Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david.atwell Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Press Start, open the Control Panel, then click System. You should get a dialog called "View basic information about your computer"; at the top, it should say "Windows edition," with the version you have listed below. I, for instance, am on my work computer, and it says "Windows 7 Professional," then some copyright info, and then "Service Pack 1." You can upload a screenshot of that screen, or just type in the info from that top section (and maybe the info from the "System" section in the middle, as well). Crop out the "Computer name, domain, and workgroup settings" and "Windows activation" sections if they appear. If you need instructions on how to take a screenshot, take a look here.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 What version of paint.net are you trying to install? 3.5.11 should work.
