Hi Tyler,

what's your operating system?
Which Inkscape version do you use?
Which version of uniconvertor did you install?

If you are on Linux, please follow the note at the top of this page:

Regards,

Argh. I guess you're on Windows as the C:\ suggests... Only the version is required :)
Still: Did you install a current uniconvertor version?

UniConvertor is bundled with Inkscape on Windows.

In this review (http://libregraphicsworld.org/blog/entry/uniconvertor-1-1-5-review) it says

"Windows version of Inkscape used to be shipped with internal copy of UniConvertor, since it contained its own copy of Python anyway. However this copy is ancient and broken. To make you Windows people happy and joyful UniConvertor now ships a small script that patches some files in Inkscape's installation so that Inkscape would use external standalone version of UniConvertor. If you want details, read a text document called "About Inkscape patch" accessible from UC's folder in the Start menu."

That's why I asked, could have been the user has already followed the advice.
