Well... I think I wasn't clear. Sorry. All this information I get *inside* "convertDefault.py". To get this info, first I changed it to show me the contents of PATH variable ( os.environ['PATH'] ). Then, *inside* conventDefault.py, the content of the PATH variable is what I said.
For some reason I don't understand, LyX insert system32 folder reference before its own in PATH. I have no control over this behavior. To be clear, the result of the command "print os.environ['PATH']", running inside convertDefault.py is the following: C:\Users\Diego\AppData\Local\Temp\lyx_tmpdir.Hp3684 C:\Program Files\Python\Python25 C:\Windows\system32 C:\Program Files\LyX 2.0rc3\bin C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin C:\Program Files\LyX 2.0rc3\etc\Ghostscript\bin C:\Program Files\LyX 2.0rc3\etc\ImageMagick-6.6.9-5 C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\bin C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 C:\Program Files\Inkscape C:\Program Files\LyX 2.0rc3\etc\Metafile2eps C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Windows Live C:\Windows C:\Windows\System32\wbem C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0 C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Shared C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\DTS\Binn C:\ProgramData\Qt\qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.2\bin C:\Program Files\CMake 2.8\bin C:\ProgramData\strawberry\c\bin C:\ProgramData\strawberry\perl\site\bin C:\ProgramData\strawberry\perl\bin Regards, --- Diego Queiroz 2011/4/19 Paul A.
