Inkscape installation slow at constant 12+% CPU












1















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: [...]numpydistutils




sometimes changes.

Another thing I notice is that the kernel time is overly high:



Kernel usage



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.

          It looks like Inkscape Setup is trying to read files.



          It looks like something went wrong with the deinstallation of the old version.
          The following helped:




          • kill the running Inkscape setup

          • delete the whole folder %ProgramFiles%Inkscape

          • run Inkscape setup again
