PaintDotNet

This is a silent installer, updater and remover 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

Extract .msi packages

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

Paint.NET.3.5.8.Install.exe /createMsi CHECKFORUPDATES=0 CHECKFORBETAS=0 JPGPNGBMPEDITOR=1 TGAEDITOR=1 ALLUSERS=1 DESKTOPSHORTCUT=0

Another way is to use the command script below and specify the MSI properties individually. In addition this renames the MSI packages to allow using the PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE environment variable.

@rem Create_Install_Packages.cmd
@echo off

set script_name=%~nx0
set script_dir=%~dp0
set script_ext=%~x1

if "X%1" == "X" goto :usage
if not "%script_ext%" == ".exe" goto :usage

set installer=%~1
set installer_name=%~n1

echo.
echo Extracting MSI packages ...
"%installer%" /createMsi

echo.
echo Moving installers to software depot ...
echo. 
move /Y "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\PaintDotNetMsi\PaintDotNet.x64.msi" "%script_dir%\%installer_name%_AMD64.msi" && echo AMD64 package successfully moved ...
echo.
move /Y "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\PaintDotNetMsi\PaintDotNet.x86.msi" "%script_dir%\%installer_name%_x86.msi" && echo x86 package successfully moved ...

echo.
echo Deleting temporary folder ...
rmdir /s /q "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\PaintDotNetMsi" && echo Folder deleted successfully ...

echo.
pause

goto :EOF

:usage
echo.
echo Usage:
echo.
echo       Drop the "Paint.NET.___.Install.exe" onto "%script_name%" to create the MSI packages.
echo.
pause
