Hi Uwe,


I tried the merged installer. Here is some feedback:

1. The icon is not the nicest one. We should have a transparent one.

2. I agree with Joost that the dialog to choose the start menu folder is not necessary anymore. It is not useful having only a single item in a map.

3. The start menu folder is called "LyX 2.0.1". I don't like the version number in the name, there is no need for it.

4. In the MikTeX page is a spelling error in the dutch translation: LaTeX softare. Also in the MikTeX update page.

5. Why do we install the MikTeX packages without asking the user for permission? I determine whether I want to install tons of MikTeX packages or not and ,moreover, I have set the setting of MikTex to always ask before installing a package. LyX just overrides this. I don't accept this.

6. Joost had a reason to not allow to start the application from the installer. Isn't this a problem now anymore ?

7. Joost's LyX2.0 installer installed the folder AppData/Roaming/LyX2.0. Can we please have the same directory for newer installers instead of lyx20 ?

8. Joost's LyX2.0 installer installed in the folder Program Files/LyX20. The merged installer in Program Files/LyX 2.0.1. Can we please have the same directory for newer installers? Preferably without all the version numbers.

9. I found the following faulty registry entries. Where do they come from ?

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\LyX.Document\Shell\open\command
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\LyX 2.0.1\bin\LyXLauncher.exe" "%1"

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\LyX.Document\DefaultIcon
    C:\Program Files (x86)\LyX 2.0.1\bin\LyXLauncher.exe,0

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications
    C:\Program Files (x86)\LyX 2.0.1\imagemagick\convert.exe $

10. Now, I have both LyX2.0.0 and LyX2.0.1 installed on my pc ? Shouldn't we overwrite the previous version ?

Vincent
