Whenever I try to run Inkscape, nothing happens for a few seconds, and then I get a popup message that reads, "Inkscape encountered an internal error and will close now."

I am using Windows 10 Home 64-bit.

I get this problem for both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Inkscape, and I even tried installing each one with both the .exe installer and with the .msi installer. I also get this problem for the portable app version of Inkscape. I also tested with Inkscape 0.91 (32-bit, 64-bit, and portable), but it didn't help.

I found an old forum thread where somebody solved the problem by deleting fonts in Windows that had special characters, but this did not help me.

Running Inkscape as administrator doesn't help.

Installing Inkscape on a different partition (I have a single hard drive with two partitions, and I tried both) doesn't help.

As a non-expert, I've run out of ideas.

Sebastian
