S0S Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Other than technical issues that I'm not aware of, one way to do it would be to uninstall Paint.NET and .NET framework 1.1 Do a complete uninstall where you use the "Search" feature in the Windows control panel and delete any file still left after the running the uninstaller (it happens). Then go to the "Run" command in the Windows control panel and typing in "Regedit" and going to "Edit" and then "Find" and typing in Paint.NET and .NET framework to get rid of any references to it. After this, click on the installers and start from scratch with a new installation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 You got that error while trying to uninstall? Does the file even exist?

Dorrie Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 The very same thing happens to me -- I get the error message just at the end of the install. My error message is the same as SAMKMM's, except the number is different. Error message: A network error occurred while attempting to read from the file: C:\Program Files\Paint.NET\Staging\PaintDotNet_75354752.msi I checked, and the file doesn't exist on my computer.

Rick Brewster Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 If someone could post a screenshot, that might help.

Dorrie Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Go to the URL below to see the screenshot from my effort to install the new Paint.NET: (I've deleted the URL because with the cleanup utility recommended, I was able to install Paint.NET. It works beautifully!) Thank you, Mr. Brewster!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Check out this earlier thread: http://paintdotnet.12.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=243 In the second to last post, by me, I detail a procedure that will hopefully work for you.

Rick Brewster Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 I wouldn't be surprised if that's what the CleanUp utility does, except that it uses the documented Windows Installer registry keys and goes straight to it I'd feel safer using (and recommending) that utility as opposed to just clobbering anything with the PaintDotNet*.msi text.
