The offline installer may still need to download some prerequisites if you're on a Windows 7 or 8.1 machine that is not up-to-date. You do not need to have .NET installed, as it is included as part of the app ("self-contained deployment").

_(Friendly hint: If you don't know what an MSI is, then it's almost certainly not the download you want. Just grab the "anycpu" installer if you're not sure which one to use.)_

If you are installing/deploying the MSI on Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, you will need to make sure the prerequisites for .NET are installed, which you can find information about at [https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/install/windows?tabs=net60](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/install/windows?tabs=net60). You will also need to have the Platform Update installed on Windows 7 SP1. You do not need to install .NET itself, as it is included as part of the app ("self-contained deployment"). More documentation for the MSI, including configuration properties, is over at [https://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/UnattendedInstallation.html](https://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/UnattendedInstallation.html)
