Well, it'd be fun to try it out just for the sake of it. MS Paint has virtually remained unchanged for the last 13 yrs since it was first released. Whenever people think of Microsoft they think about Ms Paint and all those ugly images they had drawn with it.
To run MS Paint do this:
1. Download paintnt.exe here
http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...us/paintnt.exe
2. Install Wine from Synaptic or from the terminal by typing
sudo apt-get install wine
3. Create a new folder and place the paintnt.exe file in it.
4. Run it with Wine, now all the required files will be extracted and you can use it as any normal program.
Here is a screenshot:

Although, I'd suggest you post this at the Ubuntu forums. Also at what point do you get the error message?
I did everything but When I try to run it with wine what looks like the ternimal pops up for a second then closes and nothing else happens.
