Scooter Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 (edited) Yes, I have read the pinned solutions above but nothing seemed to correct my situation- Though I tried them, to the best of my limited understanding of computer-eze. I have tried to install the Ver 4.5 and have been stopped by the following error messages. See 4.5instal fail After much frustration - all install fails seem to be hung up on finding a correct "staging" file. So, I canceled the update and went back to the 3. version I had tried to up date. Now it would not work see 4pt5 NG2 After repeating the same install procedure -hoping I had missed a step, the results were the same. No update ; No previous version; No joy. I did a "computer restore" which brought back the 3.5 but now, even with a "PDN repair" attempt, I got the error message : ERROR 591B I created a mess of the whole thing. Having tried to delete the existing version and trying a clean instal of the new version; the results are still a fail . If I could get some specific steps to follow, though I understand it is a pain. I have reached my knowledge limit and I would be most grateful.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 First - disable your anti-virus. Next, manually unzip the download then try and run it. There have been reported problems when running the exe from within the zip file. If that fails you might as well try the Windows Installer CleanUp utility as described in post #2 here http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/692-install-update-or-uninstall-trouble-read-this/ That should get you back to a clean system. 1 Quote ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
