I'm running vista, and I can't get them to work.
Anybody know how?

(If I have to, I'll install xp.)

Dev builds work fine on Vista, although I'm a few builds behind at the moment. I assume you've downloaded the build from http://inkscape.modevia.com/win32/?M=D ?

Correct.
I downloaded this file: Inkscape19729-0808181656.7z

What build are you using?

I'm using August 2 2008.

So what happens when you run inscape.exe? Error message?

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an
unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

Does this have to do with Vista being 64 bit? I'm confused...

II got build 19663 to work!
No idea why all the ones after it fail in Vista...
Should I report this as a bug?

I have Vista 64, and it shouldn't matter. When I get home I'll test that build if I remember. I wouldn't bother reporting it as a bug at least until it remains in a few builds. And then I would contact the developers as it might be something they are in the middle of working on.

I can confirm the same error here with that build. I would report it to the developers if the next build has the same problem.

A crash on start-up in Windows (for revision 19729) has already been reported: bug 259237.

Hello ! That's my first post here.

Same problem with the last four builds on Win XP PRO SP2

Yes 19663 works for me. The next one not.

Thanks,

Right ! Now I can launch 19743-0808220239 but node tool crashes the program.

The node tool crash got fixed today I believe...

Node tool crash not solved with todays 19747-0808231706

Hmmm, had at least 2 people say the latest ones ok...

I can confirm that today's build still crashes with the node editor.
I hope this gets fixed.

Node Editor's crash not fixed with 19748-0808241646.

What version of windows etc? cos its definitely fixed in my SVN build, and I've had multiple other people say its working ok now. Theres obviously a variable here that we werent aware of...

Win XP SP2 regularly updated on Intel Centrino Duo 3,2 Ghz, NVidia Quadro FX 2500M (Dell Precision M90 laptop).

The new build (Inkscape19750-0808250930) STILL crashes when using the node editor to edit paths.
I'm still using Vista, because the ubuntu installer is crazy.

Hmmmmmmmm, really confused now, just downloaded the build from the nightlys site, and it crashes for me too.
My build that i've done myself is fine...
will email the dev list and see if anyone has any ideas.

I'm happy to report that build 19753 seams to work perfectly!
A big thank you to who ever fixed that.

19753-0808260522 Works very smooth for me too !!! Fantastic !!!
