"If Inkscape still does not start, open a command prompt (cmd.exe) and navigate to the folder containing the Inkscape executables. Then run the command "inkscape.com" and check if any warnings/errors are printed to the console."
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.

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 findsomething helpful.
All best, brynn
