Hello LyXers,
again an update to the installer:

In other words, I think that the installer should lead the user
through the installation. It shouldn't "just do it" for him. That's
why I think a summary page at the beginning listing everything that
LyX has found (or not found) that it can use would be a good thing.
It is implemented now. Please have a look if you could agree with this
solution.
But there are more improvements:
Wooo! Slow dooooowwwwwnnnnnn! I can't keep up ;-)
- The installer comes now with the actual documentation files
(Argh, I just see that I shipped the wrong files for LateXConfig.lyx)
- The installer searches now for Acrobat and add its path to
lyxrc.default so that LyX can find it while configuring.
Good.
- Now also LyX's configuration files are deleted while uninstalling LyX.
The files are under
C:\Documents and Settings\name of current user\Application Data\
Be careful here. Don't delete this unless the user explicitly asks you to.
A MessageBox?
I've been merging your UI language stuff and Helge's suggestion to use a
lyx.bat file. A couple of minor issues (I hope) still to deal with but I
hope to commit it to the CVS repository v. soon.
Remaining issues:
- I need the registry path for Acroread. If anybody has installed it,
please send it to me.
Under HKLM I have
"Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe"
which stores
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe"
so perhaps you can use the same test for both?
\viewer pdf "acrobat"
But we need also the entries
\viewer pdf2 "acrobat"
\viewer pdf3 "acrobat"
Simple fix attached, please apply.
Will do.
Angus
