A LyX window does not appear on the screen, and Lyx does not appear as
an application. However, in the second tab, one can see processes
for LyxLauncher.exe and lyx.exe, and also processes for latex and
mf-config appear and disappear. LyX does not start, the processes stay
"stuck", but if you manually kill the latex.exe process, then the Lyx
window does appear, but none of its menus work and LyX is not
responding.
Are you sure the processes stay "stuck" ? Or does it just take a lot of
time.
The LyX installer claims it is installing packages, but could that
list of packages be expanded substantially so that LyX installs every
package that might be called on by any of the document types that LyX
tries to support?
We trigger MikTeX to install all the necessary packages. That's why you have to
wait a long time before LyX is started.I've also run LyXLauncher.exe -dbg any
in a terminal, but the output
just stops and waits while LyX seems to not start (processes are
stuck).
LyXLauncher.exe shouldn't be part of the installer anymore. Did you use
the official installer ?
