Since I also use Inkscape's python for other programs (For TSP {traveling salesman plotter}), I have to stick with the Windows installed program. Still cool there's a Windows App (virtual machine) for Inkscape.

Windows installed? You mean going to the site itself and downloading it, right?

From Inkscape's website Mackenzieh.

Thanks, Lyle.

Thanks, Wallace. Is that the .exe file or the.msi file? Both are listed on the site. Is there a difference between the files?

An "MSI" file is a Windows Installer File.
It's also associated with Microsoft Corporation and the Windows operating system.
It works similarly to an EXE file,
in that it is responsible for installing programs.

The "EXE" is short for "executable,"
Executable files can install an application,
or run an application that is already installed on your computer,
and they are primarily associated with Microsoft Corp.

Basically there isn't much of a difference,
when it come to installing an application.

I would go with the EXE file.

If anyone is interested Nick of Logos by Nick on YouTube has updated the icons for inkscape. This works for 92.4. Check them out here: https://logosbynick.com/new-inkscape-icons-2019/ (look for the 2019 zip file.)

You can also change the theme to a dark one also courtesy of Nick of Logos by Nick. Dark Theme video explaination: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLBpzRVMu8Q&t=2s
