Illnab1024 Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 wiaaut.dll is damaged, missing, or corrupt. Go to your Paint.NET installation folder, and copy wiaaut.dll to C:\WINDOWS\system32. This should fix it. If windows gives you a message about overwriting something, ignore this message. Quote ~~
Mangix Posted July 19, 2006 Author Posted July 19, 2006 this was in a beta and has already been fixed. also, try not to revive old topics. Quote

I'm using the latest build: not so fixed, isn't it? also, try not to revive old topics. It's good practice to SEARCH before open a new question :!: Quote Gianluigi "Zane" Zanettini - Responsabile Editoriale MegaLab.it
Mangix Posted July 20, 2006 Author Posted July 20, 2006 you are using 2.64 right? cause it works like a charm here. Quote
Illnab1024 Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 His windows system file for WIA was corrupt, not the local library. Quote ~~
Zane Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 you are using 2.64 right? cause it works like a charm here. Yes. His windows system file for WIA was corrupt, not the local library. The library was missing at all. I'm on an nLited Windows, so I suspect I removed it while nLiting Now everything works, thankyou very much!
