Comment 8 for bug 226355

So you are unable to open that script file at all? Weird.

Is this after you try and run Inkscape the first time? Maybe it "installs" itself and creates that file...

Also (maybe a dumb one) but you haven't renamed "Inkscape" to "Inkscape 46" or something? I do that sometimes with programs that don't have any automatic update so I can quickly see what version I have.

Let us know what happens.
