Hey guys,
Assuming anyone installs VC++ and C# express editions.
This is how to build the app. (Paint.NET 3.0 source code)
1) Just double click on the src\paintdotnet.sln
The express edition asks whether to open using C# or C++
2) Choose C++, u will get error messages saying that C# and VsSetup projects cant be loaded...just say OK
3) Now we will have only C++ projects.
Just Rebuild All...everything builds fine
4) Again double click on the src\paintdotnet.sln
The express edition asks whether to open using C# or C++
5) Choose C#, u will get error messages saying that C++ and VsSetup projects cant be loaded...just say OK
6) Place MT.exe and SignTool.exe in the src folder
7) In the solution which has C# projects, right click on the paintdotnet project and say and Properties...go to the Debug tab and type '/skipRepairAttempt' as the command line argument,
8) Just Rebuild all and this time all the C# projects should get built
9) Go to src\bin\Debug and u should have the 'PaintDotNet.exe'
This approach wont build the Setup projects.
I could also run the app in DEBUG mode!
Just provide the command line parameter and start the App
Example!
D:\Kamlesh\MicrosoftPaint.NETSource\src\bin\Debug\paintdotnet.exe /skipRepairAttempt
Cheers to Microsoft and Rick Brewster!
