Re: [Inkscape-user] Alternative to Inkscape for Windows 7

screen, including Inkscape.exe which I double - 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. -- View this message in context: http://inkscape.13.n6.nabble.com/Alternative-to-Inkscape-for-Windows-7-tp...
