Good question. LyX should use %USERPROFILE% for the home dir and given that USERPROFILE is set to "C:\Documents and Settings\edwin.leuven" for you, I don't understand why it insists on //ulysse/users/edwin.leuven. Maybe some kind of translation takes place behind the scenes. You could try explicitly setting USEPROFILE to W: > 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/.

I think that asking on the users list may help. I only use the Windows version of LyX for testing purposes. -- Enrico
