-### installing on windows 10
-- first you need mono and msys2.
-	- **chocolatey:** `choco install mono msys2`
-	- **otherwise:** download and install mono from [here](https://www.mono-project.com/download/stable/#download-win), and *don't* install gtk#. then, install msys2 from [here](https://www.msys2.org/).
-- then, open msys2 and run `pacman -Syu mingw-w64-x86_64-gtk3`. 
-- now you need gtk sharp 3, but you need the dotnet sdk to install it. download and install ".NET Core SDK" from [this page](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download).
-- add msys2's mingw `bin` folder (and mono's `bin` folder if required) to your $PATH:
-	- open control panel
-	- click "system and security"
-	- click "system"
-	- click "advanced system settings"
-	- choose the "advanced" tab
-	- click "environment variables..."
-	- in the "system variables" box (the bottom one), find the variable named "Path", click it, then click the edit button
-	- click "new"
-	- type in the full path to your msys2 mingw `bin` folder. for me, this path was `C:\tools\msys64\mingw64\bin`, but it may be different for you.
-	- if mono is not currently on your $PATH, you'll also need to add its bin folder here - for me, this path was `C:\Program Files\Mono\bin`.
-	- click "ok"
-- open a new command prompt/powershell window to ensure environment variables get updated.
-- `cd` to the folder you downloaded buypeeb into.
-- run `dotnet restore`
-- mono's `pkg-config` is broken because they forgot to link against a few DLLs, which is just great, so you'll need to download [this zip file](https://cloud.lynnesbian.space/s/qDB2cM7rgWoSXtK), extract it, and copy the four dll files inside it to your mono bin path, which is probably `C:\Program Files\Mono\bin`.
-- fixing `pkg-config` will allow you to compile the project
+### installing on windows
+- download and install ".NET Core SDK" from [this page](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download)
+- run `dotnet build` - this *should* pull in gtk3 automatically - if not, you'll need to [install it yourself](https://github.com/tschoonj/GTK-for-Windows-Runtime-Environment-Installer/releases/latest)
 
+this will install and use .NET core instead of mono but as far as i know it should be fine
 
 ## compiling
