Hi!

I have discovered another problem with LyX142 (installed using the small version of the windows installer).

When I run "Check TeX" the following error message is shown: "Could not run chktex successfully" You can find the debug messages below.

I think the problem is that I do not have the chktex utility installed. I guess it should have been installed by the installer, but it was not so. Otherwise, if I should install myself this utility it should be mentioned more clearly and the "Check TeX" option should be disabled while chktex is not installed.

Cheers,
Nicolás

This version of chktex.exe works around from the command line.

SH: I opened up mswintex.zip and extracted all the *.dll files
to the same LyX sub-dir as chktex.exe and the .tex file to test.
"chktex splash.tex"
I didn't know how to connect LyX's Check Tex with this binary.
LyX1.3.7-3 had the Check Tex option, but didn't appear to work.
