Hi Scott Thanks for a quick answer.
Which .exe exactly are you using? (please provide the URL). We are trying the bundle: ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/2.2.1/LyX-221-Bundle-2.exe It is difficult for us to distribute the .exe-file with (MS SCCM) because we don't have the opportunity to set parameters on the installation because we want to install the software /S (silent). Have you tried both the "bundle" and the plain "installer"? Have you tried both installers for both LyX 2.1.5 and 2.2.1? Are you installing under administrator? What *exactly* do you mean by "we have some problems"? What is the first problem you come across? If it is an error, please specify the exact error message. The installer itself works perfect, so no problems there, it is "just" not possible for us to easily distribute the .exe file to the many clients automatic together with our many other "exam-packages" witch is installed with Microsoft SCCM Multicast. And thanks for the very nice answer from you Scott - I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon.

I'm sorry you have not received a response yet. Unfortunately most LyX developers use Linux so it is difficult for us to help. I will add Uwe to the CC of this email, who is the Windows expert and the developer of our Windows installer. Please respond to this email and make sure both Uwe and the mailing list are either in the "To:" or "CC:" of the email. And then add the following information: Which .exe exactly are you using? (please provide the URL). Have you tried both the "bundle" and the plain "installer"? Have you tried both installers for both LyX 2.1.5 and 2.2.1? Are you installing under administrator?

Uwe is quite busy these days, but if he has time he will be interested in helping you. Sorry for the frustration. We would be interested in improving our installer so that it works for you. Best, Scott
