[Inkscape-user] INkscape on windows XP

I know I can put up a Debian or derivative partition (Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Mbotu etc.) and get to Inkscape 46 fairly painlessly. I also have already an unused Win XP partition.

My question is, does Inkscape 46 download painlessly to Win XP or is it one of those kludges where you have to download this to compile that to support something else? I am looking for the easiest path to a fully functioning IS 46.

My main partition is of course Slackware 12 but you really don't want to know what I have been through already trying to install IS 46.
