Rick Brewster Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 This indicates an installation problem. Run PdnRepair.exe from the installation directory ( c:\program files\paint.net ) and it'll fix this.

Walt999 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I am running Win 7 Pro SP1. I had some hard disk problems that have been taken care of and everything is working properly - except Paint.net. When I try to install or uninstall I get the message that some files are missing. I have tried just about every suggestion that I can find on the forum with no success. Looking at the install files (Paint net 4.0 Pre-Release), the MSI file is missing and maybe some others that i don't know about. Anyway, I'm stuck and need help.

Walt999 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 UPDATE: I finally found a last hidden registration item and removed it. All is fine now. Walt999 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 What was the "hidden registration item" ...... ? Quote The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt999 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Rick, I originally searched the registry for "Paint Net" and was amazed to find so many Keys, etc, that were referenced. I thought that I had deleted all of them but Paint Net would still not load, so I went through the routine again and found additional references that had to be deleted. I guess that I shouldn't have called them "Hidden" but just items that weren't obvious. Either I missed them on the first pass or it took a couple of passes to ferret them all out. Once that I really got the registry clean, all was well. (I had tried cleaning the registry using the CClean program but that apparently was not aggressive enough).
