Hello all,
 
I just downloaded the new version of native Lyx (version 1.3.3, thank you Ruurd).
 
I have installed it on two PCs, my laptop and my office PC.  I am having problems with 
the office PC, as it is using P:/.lyx as the user home directory.  And I get error 
messages if I try a reconfigure (i.e. the system cannot find the path specified).
 
The laptop is using C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\.lyx and everything runs 
smoothly on it.  I copied over the Lyx main folder to the office PC (when running 
1.3.2) hoping things would go smoothly but I decided to install the upgrade also and 
now things are starting to break. =(  I had the Cygwin version installed before on the 
office PC, but this was working fine, I removed it before moving the native win32 
version.
 
What I am wondering about is how is the User directory defined in the win32 versions?  
I was used to changing the lyxprofile file in the Cygwin version or the Linux ports 
but I cannot find anything similar on the native win32 port.  I never specified to use 
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\.lyx  on the laptop...  it just happened this 
way.  Could it have been hardcoded by Ruurd?
 
On my laptop I am running as user administrator, on the office PC I am using a login 
edesfonds (local admin rights, but not the same user name).  On the office PC, I have 
my My Documents mapped to P:\My Documents, which is different from the laptop (I 
originally thought this was the problem).
 
I am running Windows 2000 on both computers.  Any ideas, suggestions, comments would 
be most welcomed.
 
Cheers,
 
Éric Desfonds
