What happens when you attempt to launch Inkscape without opening any files?

Title:
  Zipped Inkscape files won't open in folders

Status in Inkscape: A Vector Drawing Tool:
  New

Bug description:
  Please, please help! I'm an online teacher at AZVA and I teach
  Inkscape for Digital Arts. The problem I am having is that when I go
  to open zipped files my students send me with their Inkscape drawings,
  it says I have to re-download Inkscape. I've now done this more than
  a dozen times. I have also tried running it as an administrator,
  selecting for it not to save preferences, all sorts of variations.

  String of what happens: I try to click on the Inkscape file in any
  zipped folder, whether from the dropbox or on my own computer,
  Inkscape starts to open, but then asks me what my preferred language
  is and then gives me the message: Previous installation detected at
  C:\Program Files (x86)\Inkscape. Required file Uninstall.dat is
  missing. It is highly recommended to select an empty directory and
  perform a fresh installation.

  My friend and I compared our Inkscape program files and the Uninstall
  text document is about the third of the size of the one she downloaded
  in June.
