Comment 15 for bug 285267

- well, I'm at a loss, the only thing I can think of is to try to trap any exit messages that may be generated using the method outlined in http://kaioa.com/node/63
- to use this method, you'll need to download the file inkscapec.exe from this website, put it in the directory C:\Program Files\Inkscape, or wherever your Inkscape is, and then use it to start up Inkscape. Unfortunately, this is best done from a DOS Window, but it will allow you to see any error messages that Inkscape generates.
