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

??? I now have the file unpacked and standing by in my 7z page which points to it being located at: C:\Users\Dennis Melling\Downloads\inkscape_r11604-201208132044.7z\inkscape\ when I look in my downloads folder it doesn't contain a file ending in 7z inkscape how do I move this unpacked file from the 7z software into my inkscape program I will overwrite my current 0.48 because I can always reinstall if I completely mess it up.
