I've downloaded a more recent version, and the console window is absent,

Are you able to open 2.1.x files?
Scott
I hadn't tried that, but I've just done so, and no, 2.1.x files result in
the same error. (I've reverted to beta2 now.)
I wonder if the problem is that your 2.2.0dev binary either cannot find
lyx2lyx or is using a different lyx2lyx. Note that lyx and lyx2lyx are
separate programs so the lyx program calls lyx2lyx (thus your PATH is
important). Are you using this bleeding-edge LyX thing locally or did
you install it?
Scott
Having unzipped the download, you are presented with two directories,
one labelled bin and one Resources. As I understand it, you simply copy
these on top of the installed LyX. It sounds somewhat hair-raising. My
bumbling about (it took me a number of attempts to work out exactly what
to do although the instructions seem clear enough in hindsight) may well
have had side-effects, including corrupting PATH. At this point I'll
simply wait for rc1.
