Bug Description

On windows, EPS files can't be imported, unless Ghostscript is installed and in PATH.
Installing Ghostscript and changing PATH is only possible with administrator rights.

See https://inkscape.org/en/learn/faq/#how-open-eps-files-windows or https://youtu.be/iRKTtTw65hw

For the sake of common users, please include Ghostscript (non-optional) in the windows Inkscape release.

Or, at least, add a settings option in Inkscape for setting the ghostscript install location.
