Angerphile Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 I noticed an issue when running Paint.NET on Vista x64. While the program will start wonderfully, it's running in native x64. Which his causing an issue because the plugins I have, are all compiled for 32bit. So, any idea how I can start Paint.NET in 32-bit mode rather than x64? It's driving me nuts not being able to use the VMF plugin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Most plugins for Paint.NET are bitness-agnostic, which means they should work equally well in 32-bit and 64-bit. If a plugin doesn't work on 64-bit then it is probably doing some interop with a 32-bit DLL, and you should talk to the author to ensure that their plugin works on 64-bit. By VMF plugin, to you mean the VTF plugin? http://paintdotnet.12.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=3837 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...

Angerphile Posted March 24, 2007 Author Share Posted March 24, 2007 Oh, sorry for putting it in the wrong forum! oops! And, Yeah, I meant VTF... You know how close M and T are on the keyboard >>> Anyway, I guess I'll post in the VTF thread concerning the issue then. However, is there any way to run Paint.NET in 32-bit mode from a x64 OS? The installer doesn't give any options otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 There is a command-line utility called corflags.exe that comes with the .NET Framework SDK. You should be able to use it to force Paint.NET to run in 32-bit mode, I think the command is something like "corflags PaintDotNet.exe /32bit+" 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...
Angerphile Posted March 25, 2007 Author Share Posted March 25, 2007 Thanks BTW. That worked like a charm. Now it's starting as 32-bit and I can access the VTF plugin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
