Bug Description

This has been going on for quite some time. The only version I can install is 46.4 (I think). Ever since then, all versions of inkscape always hangs on the aspell thing. The latest installer (48.4) also hangs on aspell-0.60. Is this an ongoing bug or what?

What operating system and version? Is it actually hanging or is it possibly taking an extraordinary amount of time.

The last time I ran into the same issue (when updating from 0.46 to 0.47), I just took very long (10 minutes?) but the installer managed to complete. Now I tend to compile Inkscape myself or use a portable version, and thus rarely use the installer.

The first time I ran the installer, it hanged on aspell for about 40 to 50 minutes. I had to use Task Manager to kill the process. Then I waited for about a half hour and reran the installer. The second time, it installed in about 12 minutes.

Thanks for the comments, but it seems if it hangs on aspell for an inordinate amount of time, kill the process, wait some time, then run the installer again.

Problem Solved.

This should be fixed with the latest batch of NSIS installer improvements, specifically r15114 [1].

Feel free to test the latest pre-release package [2] and report back if you're still experiencing problems.
