Re: [Inkscape-user] unable to open older version

      Type
cd C:\Path\to\directory\where\inkscape.com\is\in
Hit Enter.
This should bring you into the correct directory (hopefully, as you know
I'm not on Windows, it must be ~16 years ago that I last used this command).
cd is short for 'change directory'. Accidentally, it's the same command
on Linux, so you've learnt something you can still use later on ;-)

I think I have the comman prompt open.  It's a text window, with black
background and white text, right?
But I don't know how to navigate with it.  In the past, I've been
instructed what to type in it.  But I've never used it for navigation.
Oh....  Ok, so the last line in it is
C:\Users\brynn>_
Do I just type the path to where inkscape.exe is, where I "installed"
the 7z package?  Because it's not in Users, it's in Program Files.  Do I
just press Return (Enter key), to go to a new line, and type the Program
Files path?
Or maybe Backspace back to C:, and then type the rest of the Program
Files path?
After I find the right place, I don't know how to run a command.
Thanks,
brynn

Eduard has written an FAQ item for it, can you try that?

Can you (or someone) tell me how to do that?  I don't know how.
Thanks :-)

Just a thought. Run it from the command line (in Windows). It may spew
something helpful.

Thanks Alvin,
      I did not think there was anything wrong with that version of the
program.  I just thought someone else might have seen that error before,
and have some idea how to fix.  As I said, I'm sure it's something about
Windows.  I just don't know what.
Anyway, I'm still investigating.  I'll post again if I find
something helpful.
All best,
brynn
