Using command line interface with inkscape.com 0.48 and Windows 7
I have installed Inkscape 0.48 and it runs OK in Windows 7 32 bit as a windows program.
I have got the inkscape.com version from the .7z distro (wasn't in the win installer package - an omission?).
But when I try to run the inkscape.com from a command window I don't get a c:\users\paul> prompt
just a blank DOS window with the expected.
If I type commands like --version or --help or -h they are just echoed and available with the uparrow command recall.
I get the Inkscape window up that shows I have Inkscape 0.48.0 r9654.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
Paul
PS I have run the SVG converter GUI utility but it produces .pngs that don't view right with MS Photo viewer. So I am hoping to run a command file instead - as I did with previous versions.

I've solved my own problem (from hints from Jasper van de Gronde

C:\Users\Paul>inkscape.com --version>ink1.txt RegistryTool: Could not set the value 'c:\program files\inkscape\inkscape.exe'
C:\Users\Paul>type ink1.txt Inkscape 0.48.0 r9654 (Aug 16 2010)
But I am puzzled what I need to do to get rid of the message
RegistryTool: Could not set the value 'c:\program files\inkscape\inkscape.exe'
The Inscape Registry tool is described at
http://inkscape.modevia.com/doxygen/html/classRegistryTool.php
But it doesn't give any clues *why* the value is not written.
There don't seem to be any Inkscape entries in the registry.
Anyone know if or what permissions are missing? (using Windows 7 - with Data execution Protection ON).
I have added inkscape.exe and inkscape.com to the control panel system, advanced, DEP allowed /off list, but this make no difference:-(
Suggestions? Thanks.
Paul

Is it causing any problems right now? (I've also seen this message, but so far I haven't found any problems resulting from it.) In any case, you may want to file a bug so it isn't forgotten: http://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/
