Microsoft Paint: where to find the executable? Solved

Question

Hello, I accidentally deleted Paint entirely from my computer (the Paint DLL file no longer exists)
and I can't seem to find my Windows CD :(

The thing is, I really like Paint and its simplicity, so I wouldn't want another software...
Is there anyone who could send it to me by email please, I really need it!!

That's it

What is the name of the missing DLL? (see error message) -- The urgent is done, the impossible is in progress, For miracles, please allow some time ...

Hi, check if it's not kept by doing:
Start settings control panel Add/Remove programs

Windows installation tab accessories - detail and check for "Paint"

If it helps ... well at least it can't get worse ^^

Well, that is to say that there really isn't a missing dll, I really deleted paint so that no one would tell me to search for the file dll.XXX I don't really remember its name but there you go, so no error message, I really deleted it (nothing in system 32).

Sorry for the double post, but Spaddy I no longer have my Windows CD, so going to add or remove programs to reinstall it won't work.... and paint.net doesn't really suit me....

Can someone please send it to me? ^^

It is true that it would be better to install it properly from the "Windows Components Add" tool. Another method to try as well: try a Windows repair: sfc /scannow to be typed in the command line with the Windows installation CD in the drive

Here is the original Paint executable (it comes from XP Pro SP3, I don't know if it is compatible with all versions of Windows): http://www.konqi.fr/data/mspaint.exe

If we do a system restore before the deletion, will it work or not?
