--- Comment #2 from Fabian Maurer dark.shadow4@web.de --- On win10 the same thing happens when it doesn't find mspaint.exe.mui, e.g. by deleting that file. But on win7 it works even when that file is missing. Might be related, but not sure.

Anyone else has some insights?

--- Comment #3 from Nikolay Sivov bunglehead@gmail.com --- Since Paint is not redistributable, and could depend on some internals too, what's a point of having it working?

--- Comment #4 from Fabian Maurer dark.shadow4@web.de --- It's used in the official uiribbon documentation as a bunch of examples, would make a good test case.

--- Comment #6 from Fabian Maurer dark.shadow4@web.de --- Created attachment 63097 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=63097 Hack to get paint to start up

As suspected, the problem here is that the mfc can't load the MUI resources. Now I don't know how exactly MUI works, so I have to investigate that first.

In short, MFC tries to load a menu by calling LoadMenuW, and bails out when it doesn't work. All other strings are affected too, but that simply treats them as empty-strings.

When forcing LoadMenuW to search in mspaint.exe.mui (and one has the dll), it works - at least it starts up. Pretty unusable since all other strings are missing too, but that's the same issue after all.

Attaching a small hack to work around the issue - needs mspaint.exe.mui in the same folder as mspaint.exe. Also included an undocumented dll function, since that is called regularly by paint - you'll need that when you want to use it longer than one second or so.

TL;DR: We need a MUI implementation for paint to work.

Still present as of wine-5.5 (2b0977fc711e1faadfef69e3a46c2d1848b4826b)

Attaching a rebased version of the hack. Please note that you also need a) native uiribbon b) the mspaint.exe.mui dll in the same directory as mspaint.exe

--- Comment #9 from Nikolay Sivov bunglehead@gmail.com --- I still don't think it's a good idea to have this as a test application. If you really need uiribbon test case, it has to be easier to create a simple test for this specifically.

--- Comment #11 from Louis Lenders xerox.xerox2000x@gmail.com --- Hi, I'd like to revive this bug as I too like to get this running.

Added downloadlink https://win7games.com/download/ClassicPaint.zip

After applying Craig's patch from https://www.winehq.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/wine-devel@winehq.org/thread... (didn't get committed) and the patch for ntdll.WinSqmSetIfMaxDWORD from Fabian and using aforementioned native uiribbon mspaint.exe actually starts working quite ok with a bunch of native dlls

@Fabian: Could you please submit the stub for ntdll.WinSqmSetIfMaxDWORD to wine-patches? Thanks in advance.

I'll open a new bugreport for next issue.

I would love a patch! I unfortunately lack knowledge in the ancient craft of C so I can't work on anything Wine-related. The MS Paint from Windows 7 as well as all of the built-in MIUI apps are an important part of Windows history (and arguably some of the best Windows programs to date)

Lots of people to this day still use Microsoft Paint for comedic purposes, and I've seen a lot of people in my social circles use it for genuine professional art since it gives off this gritty 2000s look to anything. There's a badge of honour when you say you drew something in MS Paint.

I get this error when trying to load it with Wine which doesn't seem to be mentioned here: `err:module:import_dll Library MFC42u.dll (which is needed by L"C:\windows\system32\mspaint.exe") not found` even though it is present
