Eps file not imported because ghostscript is missing

Steps to reproduce:

  • open Inkscape

  • go to file -> import

  • select an .eps file

  • eps dialog window opened, asking about page orientation

  • I tried all three options, with same end result (disabled, page per page, all)

  • file -> open -> .eps file, gives same result

What happened?

  • Inkscape gives message 'No GhostScript executable was found'
  • Message load failed follows

What should have happened?

  • Inkscape imports/opens .eps file

  • Inkscape Version: 1.2.2
  • Operating System: win11
  • Operating System version: Windows 11 22H2
