[Paint.net nowhere to be found]

I give up.

I've been trying to install a plugin called 'Circular text'. I tried following the 'HOW TO INSTALL PLUGINS' thread. First with the free version, then with the paid version. The problem is I can't find 'Paint.net' on my pc. I've also tried tried to create the maps I'm supposed to in 'Documents'. I tried inserting the dll file in my newly created 'Effects' map and also the 'File Types' as one forum thread recommended.

The 'read me' file attached to the plugin tells me to download 'OptionBasedLibrary v0.7.9.dll' and 'OptionBasedLibrary v0.7.9.dlc files'. I found the files on Dropbox and have them now. They're old though, from 2015 I think. I don't know what to do with the, since I can't find my 'Paint.net' folder.

 

Hope this is the right place to post this cry of anguish. Any help would be much appreciated.

This makes me remember this tuto:

It will be quite laborious too...

I think that's an understatement but thanks for the suggestion

yes that's more like it. I will try that thanks again for helping me

Thanks a ton, for the effort Pixey. It really doesn't though. I need the pattern to run along the body of the snake -not cover it, like you've done here.

I need to bend this 2d 'viking-pattern' object along a certain shape. Basically I need to cover the snake I've attached with the pattern. I was hoping I could just tap it with the Magic Wand tool and then bend it like you bend a regular line -you know with several "warp-points". I can only stretch it vertically or horizontally though. I hope you understand what I mean. 
I have tried the Grid Warp tool but I can't do it by bending the dimension it's part of. Hope that makes sense.

 

ps. I'm using a localized version of paint.net so I have translated the names of the tools myself.
