argh!! LyXWinInstaller requires admin privileges :/
i just tried again running
LyXWin136Complete-0-4.exe<http://download.berlios.de/lyxwininstall/LyXWin136Complete-0-4.exe>and
before anything else (ex specifying directory), it says that i need
administrator privileges.
Yes it requires admin privileges. This is described in the Readme-files
and on the startpage of the installer.
Admin privileges are necessary to assure that all thirdparty programs
(ImageMagick etc.) can be installed and that the registry can be modified.

I may have understood this incorrectly. Admin privileges are
sufficient to change the admin password. On a network, can't
other groups that can write to the registry be created? I ask
because mamato is on a network, and before, John Kane who
was on a network installed LyX and helpers. I don't think they
give out the admin password to even high-level users. Or do
you mean LyX checks to see if the user is logged on as a
member of the admin group with complete rights? Or do you
mean you it is enough to be able to write to the registry?
BTW, that graphic that apparently displays rotated 90 degrees
in Mac OS X, displays OK in Windows. The eps file also
opens (in Illustrator) correctly displayed. Apparently this is
just a Linux thing.

Stephen
