Comment 13 for bug 315996

I can confirm that this is happening on Windows Vista Inkscape 0.46 and Inkscape 0.47pre0, built Jul 2 2009. I don't know how long this has been a problem but only noticed it when trying to get the help in 0.47pre0. In both cases a command window opens quickly, perhaps a message is written to the window then the window is closed quickly so no error message is left on the screen. To try to get an error message .46 I opened a command window c:\program files\inkscape\share\extentions and ran "python webbrowser_faq.py" but that worked fine because it opened up a new tab in Firefox 3.5. For 0.47pre0 I changed to the separate directory where that is installed and found that webbrowser_faq.py does not exist but that launch_webbrowser.py does so ran "python launch_webbrowser.py www.python.org" which worked. I have python 2.5 installed separately.

Inkscape 0.47 final should not be released without working help menus.
