Hello LyXers,
I'm proud to present the new version 0.7 of the LyX installer for Windows.
You can download it from
https://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5117&release_id=8585
More general informations about the installer can be found here:
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller
Here's the changelog:
---
Version 0.7
- new polish translation of the installer (thanks to Thomasz Łuczak)
- new italian translation of the installer (thanks to Massimo Lucci)
- MiKTeX will now automatically install all packages needed by LyX
during LyX's configuration (requires an internet connection)
- LaTeX class files that come with LyX and the LaTeX files needed for
instant preview are now automatically installed when MiKTeX is used as
LaTeX-distribution
- fix in the unistallation of GSview
- the TeXLive LaTeX-distribution is now recognized in all cases
- math fraktur characters are now correctly displayed in LyX

The MiKTeX developer was kind enough to prepare a special version of
MiKTeX 2.4. It is named "basic-miktex" and is the same as the
"small-miktex" available at miktex.org but includes all patches and
actualized packages from the last year. If you have MiKTeX already
installed you can also get all updates and packages when you use
MiKTeX's update wizard.
When you have an internet connection while running the installer, MiKTeX
will now install all packages needed by LyX. This needs some minutes but
assures that you can use all LyX features. You just need now for example
only to check the option "Instant preview" in LyX graphics preferences
to enable instant preview, nothing more!
The LaTeX classes that comes with LyX (cv, hollywood, broadway, etc.)
are now automatically registered to MiKTeX so that you can just start to
use the corresponding LyX example files.
So I hope the new installer version makes life easier.
The math-font package "BaKoMa4LyX" missed the file eufm10.ttf that is
needed to display fraktur characters. The new installer version installs
the font when you first deinstall LyX's math fonts via LyXWinInstaller's
uninstaller or manually. You can also download and install the font from:
ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/fonts/cm/ps-type1/bakoma/ttf/eufm10.ttf
Every annotation is welcome.

Thanks in advance
regards Uwe
