Does this mean that you can't print with GSview when it was installed
using my installer? I tested this and it works for me without problems.
If Ghostscript (gswin32.exe) isn't yet installed my installer installs it
and GSview knows then where the gswin32.exe is located. So I can't see
your problem or need a better description.
No, I wrote perhaps a muddled:
I would have tested your installer and Angus earlier, but with my limited
skills, I evaluate the success of the install using Tex
Information as one criteria, which the Angus install displays.
I meant that the reason I didn't test TeXlive2005, ProText, and
the Miktex .iso installs with both installers was because your
installer doesn't display Tex Information, which is one of my
testing criteria and the Angus installer does. So testing only
the Angus installer then required adding gsview to Path Prefix.
I guess I consider that a milder shortcoming since a user can
readily fix it. I suppose it is my biased preference for using
gsview which explains its lack of objective developer prioritizing.
Both installers certainly have merit; I tested yours only twice
mainly for the ability to install to C:\Lyx as well as Progra~1.
