It is known that cmd.exe cannot deal with UNC paths. You cannot change the
current directory using UNC paths, for example. If you try the following:
C:\> cd \\ulysse\users\edwin.leuven\AppData
you should get the same error you report above. Now try:
C:\> cd W:\AppData
C:\> W:
W:\AppData>
Do you understand now?
yes
You should arrange things such that LyX thinks
that your home dir is in W:\ rather than //ulysse/users/edwin.leuven
and things should then work.
how?
the strange thing is that (line 779 in configure.py)
srcdir = os.path.dirname(sys.argv[0])
print 'srcdir:', srcdir
spits out:
srcdir: W:/programs/LyX15/Resources/.
so i don't know where things go wrong (ie where lyx looks for and finds my
userdir)

i know, it sucks, but still, it is reality at work...
so i still think that the problem is with the script, not with my environment...
The problem *is* with your environment.
you convinced me. the question is how to get around this problem. as i wrote before, my network
share is bound to w: and i can't imagine that my setup is very atypical from a lot of other windows
shops...
:(
