This is a silent installer, upgrader and uninstaller for Paint.NET.

Paint.NET is a spiffy image editor for Windows using C#.

Requirements

• Administrator access
• Create a .msi from the .exe (/auto on the .exe will fail if you're using the WPKG Client or running WPKG over ssh and it has no option to run silently either)
• .Net framework 3.5 SP1

Create .msi

To do this download the installer and run it with the options you want making sure to add "/createMsi":

Paint.NET.3.5.1.Install.exe /createMsi CHECKFORUPDATES=1 CHECKFORBETAS=0 JPGPNGBMPEDITOR=1 TGAEDITOR=1 ALLUSERS=1 DESKTOPSHORTCUT=1

This will create a folder called "PaintDotNetMsi" with two files in it: "PaintDotNet.x64.msi" and "PaintDotNet.x86.msi". Copy the "PaintDotNet.x86.msi" to your server as "paint.net-3.5.1.msi".

Package stanza

<package
	id="paintdotnet"
	name="paintdotnet"
	revision="2"
	reboot="false"
	priority="5">

        <depends package-id="dotnet35" />	

        <check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="Paint.NET v3.5.1" />
        
	<install cmd='msiexec /qn /i %SOFTWARE%\paintdotnet\paint.net-3.5.1.msi' />

	<upgrade cmd='msiexec /qn /i %SOFTWARE%\paintdotnet\paint.net-3.5.1.msi' />
