Hello,
I just tried to install LyX 1.5 beta 1 on Windows XP SP2, and I just can't
launch the program. On startup, it crashes saying that it can't create the
temporary directory :
Error returned from iconv

LyX could not create the temporary directory 'C:/Documents and
Settings/François Amato/Local Settings/Temp/lyx_tmpdir2500a03240'

When I go to C:/Documents and Settings/François Amato/Local Settings/Temp/
I see no lyx_tmpdir directory, but instead a 0 byte file with this same
name. What can I do to change this ? (Lyx 1.4.x works fine)
Thank you for your answer,
François Amato
