Whoops, sorry about the spam. Unplugging my J drive seemed to do the
trick (I have a card reader with several drives attached). Hope this
is fixed in the final installer :)

Sorry, more specifically, I get this error when trying to run lyx:

Well, this is odd. In the instructions for building LyX, I've seen a line
like "J:\MSYS\home\Angus\LyX\" QTDIR=J:\MinSys\home\Angus\qt3
because this is what Angus uses (J:). I think it was in install.Win32.
Anyway the instructions say to change these values to those appropriate
on your system.
I have no J: drive so this quirk doen't display its menacing fangs.

"3.2 Compile the QT library
Create two .bat files, in the top-level directory of the Qt tree,
my_configure.bat and my_make.bat. Mine are shown below.
Obviously, you'll have to tweak them ;-)
$ cat my_configure.bat
set QTDIR=J:\MinSys\home\Angus\qt3
set MINGW=J:\MinGW
set PATH=J:\MinSys\home\Angus\qt3\bin;
J:\MinGW\bin;C:\WINDOWS\system32; C:\WINDOWS
set QMAKESPEC=win32-g++
configure.bat -verbose"
