Hi Friends, I'm trying to help someone who is having trouble installing Inkscape. I still don't know exactly what they downloaded. But I notice that the big Inkscape Download icon on this page https://inkscape.org/en/download/windows/, actually downloads the MSI version or installer (I'm not sure what the right word is). I both avoid using the MSI file myself, and suggest others not to use it as well, simply because I don't know what it is or does, or how to use it. I would suggest it might be better to have the EXE attached to that icon, as the "default" download (because even brand new Windows users know how to use it). Or otherwise, give some kind of explanation for us "non-techy" types, how to use the MSI download. Maybe it was chosen because the 64-bit version doesn't have an EXE installer? And then they could both be the same? -- I'm not sure the rationalization. But I would also like to suggest that the 64-bit download attached to that big (gorgeous) icon should be the 7z version. (Or otherwise, tell us how to use the MSI.) I'm not sure if this is the intent, but by having the MSI attached to the big icons, *sort of* implies that is preferred by developers. If it is preferred for some reason, I would be curious why.
Thanks for listening :-) brynn
