aorsak Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 *sigh* I'm an idiot who broke my paint.net -_- I deleted my paint.net files before installing the 4.0.5 version and now when I try and install the new one I get the "there was a fatal error during installation (1603)" and, idk what to do... ;-; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Removing a program by deleting files is just bad. You've learned this - so I'm not going to rub it in Later versions of paint.net automatically remove previous versions - so you don't have to remove the old one. Simply install the new one and the old version will be taken care of. Ok. Your problem is that you have an incomplete removal. Bits and pieces are hanging around your system and fouling the new install. Go to this thread: http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/692-install-update-or-uninstall-trouble-read-this/ Read post #2. It details how to use a VERY POWERFUL tool to complete the removal of the old version. Once you've done that you'll be free to install the new version. Please let us know how you get on. Good luck!

aorsak Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 I ended up fixing this earlier today lol. I just downloaded the new version on a different computer and copied the files from there. I didn't even mean to delete the files in the first place either though. *~* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
