Hi, I recently had problems with installing the Lyx executable (1.4.2) under WinXP.
My Miktex distribution was on my d: drive. I was installing Lyx to c:. Whenever I tried to output a document Lyx stalled on the 1st Latex run. I checked that Latex was ok from a DOS prompt, it was. I checked all the Lyx paths, they were correct. I was stumped, however, it seems that Lyx has to be on the same drive as Latex for it to work properly. I.e. don't install Miktex on D: and install Lyx on C:. cheers, Andy
