softenik Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 So, i downloaded paint.net today because i can't live without it and I was trying to install it. I've got an error saying, that SP1 is required to install it, so I downloaded SP1 update from Windows Update in Control Panel Restarted my PC aaaaand.... Nothing. I still get this error :c. Please help me, paint.net is the best and i MUST use it, i just got too used to it, can't switch to Gimp or other programs . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 There is an issue with some unzipping apps misreporting Win 7 SP1. Here's the thread: http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/29359-paintnet-installer-help/#entry414064 Basically you should try to unzip the download then run the installer exe, rather than running the exe from within the zip file. Further diagnostics are listed later in the thread if that solution doesn't work.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Excellent news! I'm glad I was able to help I'm sure the developer of paint.net will be taking an interest in this.
