Maybe, maybe not (so far only Uwe saw this). It is still unclear why these wrong pathes are generated, we did unfortunately not get all required information in http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/9815. One thing is clear however: Files with \origin /systemlyxdir/doc/ must be edited with a LyX binary that belongs to the directory where the file is located: If it is in the git reprository, then it must be edited with LyX out of the build dir. If the .lyx file is installed, then it must be edited with the corresponding installd LyX. Otherwise \origin /systemlyxdir/doc/ will be changed to \origin unavailable (but I believe this will be the only visible effect). Uwe says he cannot run LyX from the build dir. I believe that this is a major time sink (installation is needed for testing a tiny source change, using the debugger is not possible etc), and I offered my help for investigation, but so far he did not want to investigate why running from the build dir does not work. It is certainly supposed to work, my guess would be that something in support::Package is not correct for MSVC builds. Georg
