The developers' list is a better place for this kind of thing.
If you could get a backtrace, we could at least start to figure out
where this is coming from.

Subject: help: LyX crashes on startup... every time

Hello,
I would really apreciate some help with this, as LyX (v1.5.1-1 for Windows)
crashes every time I try to run it (either by double-clicking on a lyx file
or opening lyx directly).
Here is what happens:
<details>
....
creating doc/LaTeXConfig.lyx
LyX: Done!
Assertion triggered in __thiscall lyx::support::FileName::FileName(const
class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class
std::allocator<char> > &) by failing check "empty() || absolutePath(name_)"
in file D:\LyX\lyx-1.5.1\src\support\FileName.cpp:47
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual
way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
</details>
This started happening all of a sudden, and EVERY time I start it. I have
uninstalled and reinstalled LyX, but the problem persists.
I did get a similar crash a couple of times before-hand while the
application was running (can't remember if it was the same cause), but now
it's simply not working at all.
Amongst other things, I'm writing my thesis in LyX... so I have a big
problem :(
Thanks in advance,
Florian.
p.s. I hope this is the right place to report such problems.
