How to fix: Paint.NET “breaks” with Vista SP2 Beta:



I’ve had some reports that installing the Windows Vista SP2 beta (or “CPP”) breaks Paint.NET v3.36.



You’ll get an error message like so:



Contrary to the error, Paint.NET v3.36 does not require .NET Framework 3.5 SP1.



There are two ways to fix this:







1. Install .NET Framework 3.5 SP1. I recommend doing this anyway, because it has numerous fixes and performance improvements that make Paint.NET happy.



2. Go to the directory you installed Paint.NET, and remove all the files with the “.exe.config” extension. This will un-confuse the .NET loader stuff.
