(Get the code!)
I had this problem on 64-bit Windows 7 and discovered it was caused by a previous installation of Python, which had installed an environment variable called PYTHONHOME in the system variables. Deleting this variable solved the problem. This isn't at all a satisfactory solution, because whatever it was that was previously using that environment variable now can't, but at least it makes Inkscape work.
He is how to get rid of it:
- From the Start menu, type "System" and select System from the list (under 'Control Panel').
- Click on 'Advanced System Settings' from the panel on the left.
- Click the 'Environment Variables' button at the bottom.
- Under 'System Variables', scroll down until you find a variable called 'PYTHONPATH', write down what its value is, so that you can recreate it if you need it, and then delete it.
-Close and open Inkscape, and try to see if it's worked. (There was no need to restart the computer in my case).
Hope that helps.
This still needs a proper fix to make it work without having to do this!
