The installer for Inkscape won't even open

Postby maelstromvi » Sat Oct 25, 2014 9:09 am

I realize this probably isn't the "Inkscape help" this board is meant for, but I can't find a solution anywhere. I downloaded the installer (I'm on Windows 8.1) and the download completed successfully. However, when I go to the Downloads folder and try to open it, it asks for permission then does nothing. I have tried running as administrator, re-downloading, and googling for an answer. The best help I could find was re-install it, but obviously that doesn't make sense in my situation. Do you guys have any ideas whatsoever? I really need this to work so I can create some mechanical keyboard layouts.

Thanks a ton if you can help, and sorry if there is a better place to post this. If there is, just tell me and I'll repost it over there.

Id check security settings, firewall, antivirus...
Have a nice day.

I'm using Inkscape 0.92.2 (5c3e80d, 2017-08-06), 64 bit win8.1

The Inkscape manual has lots of helpful info! http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/
