some reason inverse search was not working since sumatrapdf was called from "C:
\Program Files\Lyx20\bin".
this was happening to me too with lyx 2.0.0 on windows vista

this confuses me. First of all, I need to use pdf (xetex)
but anyhow, if I put your files in the directory above, and use for FORMAT :
pdf (xetex)
and for VIEWER:
"C:\Program Files\SumatraPDF\SumatraView.bat"
and
CMCDDE SUMATRA control [ForwardSearch(\"$$o\",\"$$t\",$$n,0,0,1)]
as my tools:preferences:output:general:Forward search:pdf command
and then I reconfigure
what happens is that
when I view the file as pdf (xetex)
Sumatra.bat runs
00:54:37.609: "C:\Program Files\SumatraPDF\SumatraView.bat" "C:/Users/HP_User/
AppData/Local/Temp/lyx_tmpdir.Hp5416/lyx_tmpbuf2/Mybook.version.2.pdf"
00:54:37.674: Successful preview of format: pdf4
and opens the pdf
and the options for the pdf show
lyxeditor.exe %f %l
as my return editor
but neither forward search or reverse synch work.
If I forward search it gives me
00:56:23.928: CMCDDE SUMATRA control [ForwardSearch
("""Mybook.version.2.pdf""","""Mybook.version.2.tex""",892,0,0,1)]
00:56:23.937: (forward-search)
but it doesn't do anything.
reverse sync /double click tells me "no synchronization file present"
this was with document :settings: output: synchronize: turned off.
if I turn that on with
\synctex=-1
as my macro
reconfigure
restart
and all other settings as above, and redo view pdf (xetex)
and:
same as above.
