Excellent! And is the existing .bat file OK on more modern Windows versions? @echo off if "%LANG%"=="" SET LANG=fr_FR "C:\Program Files\LyX\bin\lyx.exe" %~1 %~2 %~3 %~4 %~5 %~6 %~7 %~8 %~9 If not, could you post that too.

Don't ask me how > though. The installer does all the hard work of deciding what a sensible default should be. Ie, there's no 'C:\Program Files' anywhere in the installer script. Thereafter, the installer allows you to reset its default installation root from C:\Program Files\LyX (on my machine). I simply pass this string to the function that generates the .bat file. I'll just make this function a little more intelligent and interrogate the 'ver' function to decide which flavour of batch file it should output. > Helge Hafting -- Angus
