Juzjon Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 Wow, I thought this paint.net was going to be a simple 2mb download. Turns out I now need to download 63mb more to get microsoft net framework to make it work? Isn't that a bit of an overkill? Quote
Curmudgeon Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 no, as it requires the .Net framework to run, and if you have Vista, you already have .Net framework installed Quote
Juzjon Posted March 12, 2008 Author Posted March 12, 2008 I have XP Professional...2 hours and still downloading, ugh. Quote
pyrochild Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 First of all, you need to change your thread title to be more descriptive. 'Tis in the rules: No generic thread titles. And the .NET Framework is exactly that. A Framework. Paint.NET is not the only program that uses it. Many other programs use it as well, and that number continues to grow every day. Eventually, you will need the framework for something else, so you might as well get it now and enjoy Paint.NET sooner rather than later If you have XP with automatic updates on, you should probably have the framework already. If not, well, you should probably turn on automatic updates.... Quote ambigram signature by Kemaru [i write plugins and stuff] If you like a post, upvote it!

Rick Brewster Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 Auto-updates does not pull down .NET Framework. It will pull down updates to .NET if you've already got it installed, however.
