[MonoDevelop] Building/Running MD From Source on Windows

[Alan]

You need to install Gtk# 2.12.20+ for the microsoft .NET framework.
It's a prerequisite for installing monodevelop from the msi, but we
don't have a runtime check to ensure you have a recent enough build.
We could/should add one to prevent people from running MonoDevelop on
old/broken versions of Gtk#.
