Hello everybody,

I discovered open source software 3 years ago because I love to draw, and I didn't have money enough to buy Photoshop : so I used The Gimp on Windows XP.

Since then, I began to use Ubuntu and actually Kubuntu.
I think that a lot of people would love to use Krita, if it would be available on Windows and if we could download it easily through a .exe package.

One of the reason of the popularity of The Gimp is that we can easily download and install the software. I don't think it would be really hard to make a package with all libraries of Krita in .exe format.

What do you think of my idea ?

PS: I'm probably not the one to propose it, but I didn't found the message on this forum...

The KDE for windows developers know that they need to improve the installation process, but when that will happen is not clear. Easy installation for individual stand-alone applications like Amarok and Krita is certainly one of the goals, but until they make a standard installer that is able to handle this it is not going to happen. Having individual projects trying to split off and implement this independently is a recipe for disaster.

Ok in any case, thanks for your answer.

This actually exists now, although it's still in alpha.

I'd say this needs to be marked as solved.
