PC help: Getting the .NET Framework

How to install this important software with Windows Update

Q I am trying to install Paint.net on my computer but the system requirements include the .NET Framework. What is this and how can I install it on my computer?

A The .NET Framework is a piece of software created by Microsoft to make computer programs easier to write and work better on Windows computers. There are now three versions all of which should be installed on a computer. Software written with the .NET Framework will only work if this is installed on the computer.

The easiest way to make sure that this is installed is to use Windows Update. Click on the Start but and then on All Programs and then Windows Update. Click on the Custom button and, after the utility has finished searching the computer, click on the Software, Optional option in the left hand side. Select all the options for .NET, there are several versions and they all need to be selected. Click on the link 'Review and install updates' and then on the Install Updates button. If a restart is required, this will be requested after the installation has finished.
