To let LyX be installed by a normal user, I suggest that you modify the Aiksaurus sources such that HKCU\Software\Aiksaurus\Data_Dir overrides HKLM\Software\Aiksaurus\Data_Dir which, in turn, is overrided by the env setting. I see that Aiksausurs is already patched, so this should not be a problem. In this way, if HKLM is not writable by the user, the setting can be stored in HKCU by the installer. Wait a moment... I had a quick glance at the patch and it seems that this is already done. However, I don't think that a wrapper can be avoided as there must be a way to suppress the cmd window. -- Enrico
