Thanks for all your comments and feature requests. A new version of the
installer, again based on the latest 1.4.2svn, is now available.
Hi, Joost,
Great job with the installer. I just tried it out, and it worked great
for the most part, with a few anomalies:
1. It installed a bunch of Aspell files to C:\Program
Files\Aspell\lib\aspell-0.60. I already had Aspell installed (at
C:\Aspell). I thought that Aspell *had* to be installed to C:\Aspell.
Has this changed?
2. When downloading the Aspell dictionaries, I got messages that the
installer was unable to make a connection, and did I want to try again.
Each time, the second attempt worked fine. The connection failure
messages came up so quickly, I wonder if perhaps the installer needs a
programmed wait to give servers more time to respond?
3. I had your installer download English and German dictionaries. The
English dictionary installed fine. The German dictionary appeared to
unpack correctly, but then your installer issued a message saying that
the German dictionary had not fully installed, and did I want to try
again. I opted for a second attempt, and this time watched the details.
The installer for the German dictionary issued a message saying it was
done, but your installer again said it had failed. This time I opted to
continue. (Boy, there has got to be a way to say that without using the
root "install" every third word! :-)
4. LyX 1.4.svn appeared to configure correctly, and it found my 1.4.1
preferences, but the spellchecker is disabled. Is this a known bug?
The spellchecker still works in 1.3.7 and 1.4.1.
Cheers,
/Paul
