Install the latest version of Paint.NET. Make sure you use the classic installer. Installing Paint.NET from the Microsoft Store will not work for CodeLab development.
-
Install Visual Studio 2022 (C# options). The free Community Edition works fine.
While developing CodeLab, it is recommended to use the FastDebug
configuration. This skips the ILMerge operation, and allows CodeLab to run outside of Paint.NET.
