There is an updated release for Win32 available (called LyX 1.1.6fix2b) as usual at http://www.fh-hannover.de/mbau/tim/hentschel/lyx/index.htm This update fixes two known problems: 1. Index now is present, too if you are using MikTeX! 2. Any change made in the lyx file will now produce an updated PDF file if you call View->Update->pdflatex Claus
