- well, that is very strange, I just unloaded and ran the 7-zip version on
Windows 7 (32 bit) and it started up with no problem
- just to confirm, did you use the Extract button?, did you get warnings
telling you that you were overwriting existing files?
which directory did you extract to?
just for future reference, here is the procedure I normally use, assuming
I wish to overwrite my current version.
I am going to assume that you have been viewing this from inside 7-zip File Manager and that you have not yet hit the Extract button. Then the procedure that I would use is as follows:
- close everything
- start up 7-zip File Manager
- navigate to the 7z file called inkscape_r11604-201208132044.7z
- perform a single-click on this file just to highlight it, not to open it
- click on the Extract button to open up a file browser window
- navigate to the location where you want to put these files.
- be aware of the fact that this extraction procedure will automatically
create a sub-directory called Inkscape when you extract it
- so for example, if you choose the directory C:\Program Files\ to extract
into, then you will end up with a folder called C:\Program Files\Inkscape\ and inside this folder will be the executable called Inkscape.exe
- then click OK and you will get various warnings that you are overwriting
existing files.
