Sorry for my ignorance. I downloaded boxmaker.inx, boxmaker.py, and schroffmaker.inx when I tried to copy them to C:\Program Files\Inkscape\share\extensions I got a permissions denied, but I edited the folder permissions, copied the files in - but I don't see where I'm supposed to use the extension I moved the files to [USER]\AppData\Roaming\inkscape\extensions to see if that would help, but it doesn't seem to have done anything.

Could someone just clue me in to what I need to do? I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium (x64) Service Pack 1, and Inkscape 0.91 r13725

Thank you

Alright - apparently there was some issue with the way the files got downloaded. I downloaded the zip file, unzipped, then installed to [USER]\AppData\Roaming\inkscape\extensions and I get the Laser Tools submenu in Extensions.

Sorry for the confusuion. Hope this helps out anyone who may have run into the same strange issue.
