Hum, so I installed 0.9.26-5 via the installer EXE, but when I launch it,
nothing happens.  No window appears at all.  I tried using the
"troubleshoot compatibility" option, and it suggested Windows 8 mode,
but running the test did nothing.  I tried running as administrator,
and I saw "stderr" and "stdout" files appear in C:\Program Files (x86)\TuxPaint,
but they are both empty.

I tried uninstalling and re-installing completely (vs. installing over
the existing version), but that didn't help.

I tried moving the "TuxPaint" folder in C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\
out of the way (renamed to "TuxPaintXYZ") and launching again.
Tux Paint got as far as creating a new "TuxPaint" folder in there, but

Settings -> System -> About says it's a 64-bit OS, with x64-based processor.
Windows 10 Home, version 20H2, OS Build 19042.1288, with Windows Features
Experience Pack 120.2212.3920.0.

I WAS able to get the i686 32-bit version to install and run.

So, yikes, this might not be working properly, still!?
