You should never simply overwrite an older install on win32 systems. This can lead to orphaned dll stuff. unexpected behaviour then ... So please uninstall before new install. The installer will start for you the uninstallation proccess upon your request.
There was a request pending to also make a link for the documentation. This would require an additional folder Inkscape in the Programs section of the start menu. In order to group the two links (launcher and documentation).
However you can also make a shortcut for your development snapshots when you uncompress to one specific directory.

The reason I was asking about a current 7z was because I have never installed the development version. I always just extracted a new version over an older build. I was not sure how using the installer would overwrite an older development version.

What's the problem that you've got with the installer? I've been working on the installer and so I'd like to know of any issues you've got; you should be able to install it over the top of any another build.

I notice on the website http://inkscape.modevia.com/win32/?M=D the current windows version is 22040 but it is an exe file but creates temp files that I cannot use to overwrite my current development version.
Is there one around that is in zip formant so that I could extract the contents into my current inkscape development version?

I don't need a quote in my signature. It's hard enough surviving as it is without having to find a meaningful quote. Will you forgive me? Or don't you read this bit?
