Comment 92 for bug 187290

> did this work previously in Vista?

Yes. Builds 20844, 20921 and 20932 are unzipped on my computer (in different directories), and the last working one is 20844 (I can still use it without any problem).

> if you open a DOS window using cmd and then run Python, or if you type in the command 'python' in the Run command window, does Python start up normally?

Python isn't in my PATH env (and doesn't really need to), so I have to use the whole path in the command line. I've tried python.exe and pythonw.exe, and they both return me an error popup, telling me pyrhon25.dll is missing. I have the same behaviour with working builds, so I guess it's not related to our bug.

Inkscapec tells us RegistryTool could'nt set a value after invoking gspawn. It reminds me of this comment: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/187290/comments/20.
I'll try to debug it with regmon as soon as possible.
I'm sorry the debug process is quite slow, but I have access to my Vista laptop on the evening only, and it works well with all my other computers.
