rancid quarry
I have been trying to get mspaint from windows7 running, (I downloaded it from this archive https://archive.org/details/MSPaintWin7), with no success, I downloaded a bunch of depedancies, and a service pack, redownloaded wine a bunch of time, and that's how far I've gotten
I do NOT want an alternative, because I already have one, I want paint only for silly reasons
(I use Arch Linux, KDE Plasma)
This folder was created, maybe it is important
rancid quarry
or just doubleclick the mspaint32.exe file
let me check
rancid quarry
straight up closes
rancid quarry
yeah I really got a problem
I have done like 80 things with wine in terminal
I need help
ask me when you are here for screenshots, I cannot figure shit out
the arch wiki has failled me
rancid quarry
from an old windows 9x , ME, or XP ISO
old old one?
well old ones worked, but I need 7 specifically to work
the ui is different
I got it from here
I got wine 10.9
[kllan@Klan ~]$ wine ~/Documents/Window\ Programs/Win7\ Paint/mspaint.exe
0024:err:module:import_dll Loading library MFC42u.dll (which is needed by L"Z:\home\kllan\Documents\Window Programs\Win7 Paint\mspaint.exe") failed (error c000007b).
0024:err:module:loader_init Importing dlls for L"Z:\home\kllan\Documents\Window Programs\Win7 Paint\mspaint.exe" failed, status c0000135
[kllan@Klan ~]$
I have downloaded MFC42u.dll propably 10 million times
winetricks MFC42u.dll
tepid scarab
I also am hoping to get MS paint (with the win7-10 interface) working on mint.
I have attempted it with steams Proton.
Researching Paints depenancys. MFC42u.dll being a key one.
Wine may have more of the dependencies necessary for Paint as Proton is geared for gaming.
keen star
you can get the linux-native kolourpaint installed in the slimmest fraction of time.
