Yes! Very good to hear.
I uninstalled and reinstalled in the usual C:\Program Files\Lyx and it
failed
I tried again at C:\Lyx and it worked fine once again. Is this a spaces
in path problem (I am using Miktex 2.4.1704) ???
It seems so, I'll test it.
(I use a german Windows where the default path is C:\Programme\LyX)
But anyway, is the Instant preview the only problem when you installed to
C:\Program Files\Lyx ?
Geoffrey, that was some good sleuthing work, I admired the ingenuity
and persistence. The documentation for Miktex either flatly states, or
strongly recommends, installing MikTex to a directory without spaces.
I think the defaults are c:\texmf and c:\localtexmf.
Using the Angus installer, I have not been able to install to C:\LyX
for 1.3.7pre without the install failing. I suppose though, that if using
Instant preview doesn't work with the Angus installer, installing to
C:\program files\LyX, then that would have been reported. Sometimes
eccentric computer behavior is so subtly causal that it seems like magic.
