I had a big problem with the use of the new LyX 2.3 bundle. The installation by itself went fine, side by side with the current LyX 2.2.3 version, using my existing local Miktex 2.9 distribution. But the compilation with LyX 2.3 of any document failed with a report of a problem on pdflatex.exe (something like missing program). I tried to reconfigure LyX 2.3 but the problem remained. I then switched to LyX 2.2.3 and faced the same problem with in addition the reported missing of some document classes. It seemed that the Miktex configuration was corrupted.
I then uninstalled LyX 2.3 and had to upgrade/maintain the Miktex configuration with its package manager to recover a working LyX 2.2.3. So there is certainly a problem with the way LyX 2.3 interacts with Miktex. I had no problem of this kind with the LyX2.3RC 1 & 2. 2018-02-27 23:12 GMT+01:00 Scott Kostyshak <skost...@lyx.org>: > Dear Windows users, > > We received a report that the Windows installer lead to an error, so I > would like to get some more testing before we announce the release. > > Can you test the installer for 2.3.0? > > ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/2.3.0 > > If you test, which installer did you test: the "bundle" or the > "installer"? > > Did you get a popup from the MiKTeX package manger during the > installation process?
