For anyone else who used the unofficial Windows installer and now gets the error messages
The layout file requested by this document x.layout is not usable... please see my bug report for the fix. http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/7315 -Ben 2011/2/14 Michal <ms-li...@ms.sebdan.com>: >> Thanks so much for doing this! One problem is that the program >> installed by this stores preferences in the LyX 1.6 locations (both >> in the registry and under %APPDATA%\lyx16). This obviously causes >> problems when installed alongside the real LyX 1.6. >> >> Does anyone know why this might be? Perhaps it could be the way this >> installer was built, or the changes made for importing preferences in >> this beta? > Well, I'm not much of an expert, I just happen to need LyX 2.0 > badly :)... and on multiple machines, so building the installer was an > obvious choice. > > I don't know why this is happening, though I've checked and I have > the following line in Settings.nsh: > > !define PRODUCT_SUBFOLDER "lyx20" > > Anyway, to build this installer I've just extracted 'official' > LyXPackage of LyX 2.0 beta3 installer (although it had some beta2 > options set), changed config to 'beta4' where neccessary in > Settings.nsh, renamed some bitmap with icon file, copied in the > self-compiled svn binaries (how I've built them is another matter :) ), > added lyxpak.py to the resources (I don't know why it was missing from > the binaries' dir) and then just used NSIS to build the 'small' > installer.
