  86.         <h2>Unattended Installation</h2>
  87.         <p>Paint.NET supports
  88.         <a target="_top" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unattended_installation">
  89.         unattended installation</a> which enables you to install Paint.NET with 
  90.         no user interaction. This is primarily useful for deploying Paint.NET to 
  91.         many users on a network, or slipstreaming it so that it is automatically 
  92.         installed during Windows setup.</p>
  93.         <p>This article is focused on the command-line automation provided by the 
  94.         Paint.NET installer and will not discuss the details of
  95.         <a target="_top" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_policy">Group 
  96.         Policy</a> or
  97.         <a target="_top" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slipstream_(computing)">
  98.         slipstreaming</a>. The latter, however, has been made popular by software 
  99.         such as <a target="_top" href="http://www.autopatcher.com/">AutoPatcher</a> 
  100.         which you may read about at its

  103.         <p>Previous versions of Paint.NET were distributed as MSI files which were

  105.         <a target="_top" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Installer">
  106.         Windows Installer</a> options. Newer versions, however, are distributed 
  107.         as EXE files due to more intricate requirements related to configuration, 
  108.         localization, and updating.<br>
