How do you even get an installer for mspaint?? Like, I'm honestly baffled and intrigued at this point that mspaint is the "killer app" keeping someone on Windows and how one would even try to install it under wine...

I did a bit of hunting online and most people report no problems with the windows xp version of paint under wine, but 7 and later requires some tinkering because of missing .dll files or won't work at all.
