Comment 8 for bug 229524

I have the exact same problem, WinXP2SP2, inkscape dev build June 5th. I tried using inkscapec.exe (thanks JH!) to see what happened, the result is this....

Open a cmd window and run inkscapec.exe.
Open any pdf document and the preview appears - as the preview window opens, I get an error in the console -

C:\Program Files\Inkscape0.46>inkscapec.exe
Error: Couldn't open 'nameToUnicode' file 'C:\target\share\poppler\nameToUnicode
\a'

(On multiple attempts the path was the same but the 'filename' (a in this case) varied.)

When you accept the pdf preview, inkscape crashes with no other notification to the console.

Is there a possibility that the C:\target\ reference is wrong? I know target is often used as a variable for compiling but C:\target\ doesn't exist on my system so if that is where it is looking then it won't find anything.

I don't know if this helps or not but if there is anything I can try then just let me know,

Thanks,

Tony
