I get the following in the log window when I try to use them:
** (inkscape.exe:2064): CRITICAL **: file extension/implementation/script.cpp: line 630 (virtual void Inkscape::Extension::Implementation::Script::effect(Inkscape::Extension: :Effect*, SPView*)): assertion `mydoc != NULL' failed
Perl and/or Python (depending on the effect) need to be installed and in the path. And then each effect will have its own requirements. Dropshadow requires Perl and XML::XQL::DOM. My effects require Python and PyXML from http://pyxml.sourceforge.net/.
Which effect were you trying?
There definately needs to be a way for the user to know what part of the equation is missing. A less that perfect but functional way of doing this would be to display stderr from effects to the user. But output from scripts like this is hidden from windows users even if they start form the console. (I think.)
