yep similar circuit design just different processors you can normally tell as they remove hair from the top of your head and dont make sense of anything very slow to load things memory levels jump around

Just trying to make sense if this.
I downloaded both of these files :
Running the msi doesn't work so I assume the linux file runs the msi file, or is it just two methods of install, so I should just run the linux file.
There's a lot of files in that wine-mono folder I extracted. Which one do I click on to execute the install of mono ?
The .tar.gz will most likely be the full source code that would need compiling etc..
.msi's have to be run via Terminal, and from memory I could never ever get them to work correctly.
Hats off for the effort you're putting in, I'd have got the sh*ts with it long before now.
After trying this for a short while & not getting anywhere I'd simply be using Pinta & printing from outside the program.

I think I've almost got .net to install but there's still problems.
How do I do this ? : "If install fails set /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope to 0"
Ptrace_scope was set to 1 for security reasons.
Honestly, I don't know.
Try it I guess & see if it works.
One good thing about Linux is if it breaks it takes very little time and effort to reinstall & start from scratch.
Ok well I tried that and it didn't fix the problem.
So I'll give play on linux a go, see what happens.
I even took a shot at installing paint.net in a virtual machine running a genuine win10 and it was unsuccessful there as well. Maybe I didn't spend enough time on it but it's proving to be very problematic for some reason.
No SP1 errors, install just abruptly stops while trying to install the .net update
Well something pops up in a dialogue box but so quickly you'd rarely see the flash let alone read it

Ok so 6 days later and I've now got a working Paint.net on the system. For those wanting Paint.net on their Linux OS read on.
Based on a forum thread I found, installing it is not too hard but I had to modify what I read and add some steps to attain success.
Paint.net is a really great program for not only drawing but also editing photos. As mentioned before, I use it a lot because it will do almost everything that photoshop will do but is heaps easier to use. I do use photoshop if I need to work with certain specialized effects.
Apparently, Paint.net 3.5.11 is the latest version that will run on Linux, I am led to believe anything after that needs a later version of .net which can't be installed on Linux. I will at a later date attempt to get the current Paint.net installed.
1/ In Linux, got to apps and install Wine.
2/ Also in apps, install Winetricks.
3/ Once again in apps, install PlayonLinux.
4/ Update-upgrade to make sure you have the latest versions of 1/ , 2/ and 3/.
5/ Now we create a 32-bit virtual drive
5a/ Run PlayonLinux and click Configure, click New.
5b/ Click Next after selecting 32 bits windows installation.
5c/ Click Next after selecting your latest version of Wine.
5d/ Click Next after entering PaintDotNet as the name of your new virtual drive.
6/ In the left panel, click on the PaintDotNet folder, then click the Install Components tab.
7/ Scroll through the list to select Dotnet40 then click Install. Allow Dotnet40 to do its thing.
8/ Go back to your PaintDotNet folder in PlayonLinux and select Gdiplus and install it.
9/ Close PlayonLinux Configuration.
10/ Go here and download Paint.net:
11/ Unzip Paint.net to Home\PlayonLinux's Virtual Drives\PaintDotNet.
12/ Open terminal and enter "winecfg"
12a/ Click the Applications tab then click Add Application.
12b/ Search Home\(user name)\PlayonLinux's Virtual Drives\PaintDotNet/Paint.NET.3.5.11.Install.exe and click Open.
12c/ Change windows version to Windows 10 (or whatever is the latest). Click Apply/OK to close wine config.
13/ Go back to Home\(user name)\PlayonLinux's Virtual Drives\PaintDotNet and right click on Paint.NET.3.5.11.Install.exe and Open with Wine Windows Program Loader.
14/ Follow the install instructions and go make a coffee. It will take quite a while before it's finished.
15/ Done.
PS Beware : I ran Paint.NET.3.5.11.Install.exe from the downloads folder which installed it fine but I now have no icon on the desktop.
Here you will find lots of excellent plug-ins for Paint.net:

Excellent work there loopyloo - never give up, never surrender
And definitely post your working on winehq forum as you could be the first to get paint.net working
I've found just about all the apps I'd had trouble with previously now install easily in wine 3.xx. Got more to try yet though but feeling fairly confident that I could escape the clutches of MS in the near future.
