PaintDotNet

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 2.0

Create .msi

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

Paint.NET.3.36.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-3.36.msi".
