I saw that a new version of Inkscape is available and I wanted to update to the latest version. The installation routine uninstalled the old version, then started the installation of the new version (0.92.4).
However, the installation is really slow: it is now 10:37 local time and with Process Explorer, I can see that the installation was started at 09:44 local time, i.e. it is running for more than 50 minutes now, with very little progress.
From the labels I can see it still does something. The line
Search in: [...]\numpy\distutils
sometimes changes.
Another thing I notice is that the kernel time is overly high:
How do I make the installation as fast as it used to be (less than 5 minutes, I'd say)?
I'm using the Inkscape 0.92.4 Windows 64 Bit Exe Installer. My OS is Windows 10.
I've tried:
- killing the Setup and restarting.
This is not a duplicate of Inkscape extremely slow on new powerful computer, since that question discusses an already installed version of Inkscape.
