Hi Angus,
first many thanks for your work. I tested it and have the following
annotations:
- Your installer asks for several programs. If one of these are not
present, the installer opens the download/install webpage of the
programs but jumps to the next step without waiting until the missing
program is installed.
- Is it really necessary to install msys, perl and phthon fully? Its
download size is huge (23 MB for Perl + Python) for modem/ISDN users.
Ruurd only used the executables perl.exe, python.exe and sh.exe. Is it
possible to include them to the installer package? Because it would ease
the installation a lot.
- While LyX reconfigures, it doesn't recognize acrobat:
+checking for "acrobat"... no
altough it is installed on my system. The reason is that the acrobat.exe
istn't in the PATH but in the registry (as most of Win programs) under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\Applications\
Is it possible to search the registry for this entry? Acroread under Win
is stored in the same registry path.
- I installed LyX with admin permissions and it appeared with german
menus like I wanted. But when I change to a user account it appeared
with english menus. To get german ones for the user account I had to
create a new environment variable named "LANG" with the value "de_DE" as
described at Ruurds LyX-webpage. Is it possible to add this variable
automatically for every user account?
- At last a crash report of your LyX 1.3.6CVS version:
Go to Edit -> Preferences, choose "Paths" and press one of the "Browse"
buttons for the working directories. Result CRASH:
lyx: SIGSEGV signal caught
Sorry, you have found a bug in LyX. Please read the bug-reporting
instructions i
n Help->Introduction and send us a bug report, if necessary. Thanks !
Bye.
abnormal program termination
That's all for the moment.
thanks for the installer again and regards
Uwe
p.s. Please CC all replies to my email adress as I'm not on the
lyx-devel list.
