Any ideas what I could do.....besides try the EXE or MSI versions?

Thanks again

Hi, I just downloaded the pre3 package, 32 bit 7z version. It seems to be behaving normally as far as I can tell, no error messages. I used 7-zip version 9.20 which is fairly old. I ran it on Windows XP.

Try making the URL https. I think my host might have just switched me over to https. If that doesn't work, I'll attach.

Looks like my 7z version is 4.65

Thanks :-)

unfortunately, your screenshot is not visible, I would try attaching it directly to your message.

which version of 7-zip are you using?

Oh Victor, I was simply trying to extract the 7z version - not compile.

Alvin, I'm in the process of setting up a new computer, so I'll try again when I get it set up. I'm trying to avoid installing new things on this old one (that's why I was getting the 7z version) because it's not exactly stable anymore.

I'll let you know if I have the same results on the new computer.

Thanks for your help :-) brynn

If I knew how to make a super detailed step by step video I would... but I don't. :( Would love if someone did this. :)

Hi Friends, I've just downloaded 0.92pre3, 64-bit, 7z version, for Windows 7, 64-bit, sp1. After extracting it, when I click on inkscape.exe, I get the following error message.

"C:\Users.....inkscape.exe is not a valid Win32 application."

Same thing with 32-bit, 7z version. For both, 7z gives me a long string of Diagnostic Messages. I don't see any way to save this list of messages. (There are over 4000.) There is no option for saving or exporting. The only available option is Close. There is no context menu for the contents of the window. I can't highlight anything either. (Well, I can highlight the message numbers, but if Ctrl c is copying them, then Ctrl v is not pasting (into Notepad).) Oh, but every single one of them starts with "Unsupported compression method for....." It's possible my version of 7z is old. I could try upgrading, if it's possible that could be the reason. Let me know if I can provide any further info, files, docs, etc. Or make a bug report.

Thanks, brynn
