Hello,
For win32 people who want to test the new ui here is an inkscape build from cvs. I've done a *very basic* installer with nsis (http://nsis.sourceforge.net/). Download http://195.221.122.126/tmp/inkscape-0.36cvs-setup.exe [1.65 Mo]
You still need to install gtk2 runtime from dropline (http://www.dropline.net/gtk/) first, then run the setup and run inkscape.exe (and enjoy :)
Preferences are still saved in directory of install, this could easily be changed to save in user home dir Translations are included in the package
I join the basic nsis script, in case someone want to polish/improve with : - create start menu entries and desktop icon - use more eye candy modern_ui from nsis - display of licence - option to launch inkscape at the end - safer uninstaller (be careful currently it removes the dir of install whatever is in..) ..etc..
I've not the time to do extensive tests right now, but some dialogs seem to generate lot of warnings in the console. I'll try to make a list of problems this week-end.

Hey, cool.
I didn't know that this installer existed. This might finally free me from the Installshield dominion. Thanks for the info.

As it only installs 'one component' and it is not optional you could simplify the installer even further if you wanted. If you later want to make it more complicated Abiword also uses NSIS feel free to borrow ideas. http://www.abisource.com/lxr/source/abi/src/pkg/

I've installed GTK-Runtime-Environment-2.2.4.1.exe which seems to be the most up to date version available but I'm not having any joy. Basically I dont think Inkscape is finding my copy of GTK properly.
I get the following two errors INTL.DLL is linked to missing export ICONV.DLL:libiconv_set_location_prefix.
and
C:\Program Files\inkscape\inkscape.exe A device attached to the system is not functioning
I've tried unsuccessfully both inkscape-0.36cvs-setup.exe and the earlier inkscape-0.36-pre0-w32.exe
I'm running windows 98, but I will probably be able to test against windows 2000 this evening (and maybe Windows XP later in the week).
Sincerely
