Hi,
I just tried to install both 1.4.1 and 1.4.2 on WinXP and have the problem
that it then refuses to start because windefault is missing. I assume this
refers to windefault.ui. What has gone wrong here? Or more to the point, how
do I replace this file. I have tried several different installation methods,
and they all produce the same error. I have had Lyx installed before without
problems, but this time the configuration doesn't seem to have worked properly.
Ok, I'll bite: what's windefault.ui? I have LyX 1.3.7, 1.4.1 and 1.4.2
installed on WinXP, and none of them have that file.
I think the following fix should work. Navigate to C:\Documents and
Settings\<your id here>\Application Data\LyX1.4.x\, open the preferences
file in a text editor (e.g., notepad), and insert the line
\ui_file "default"
at the end. If you don't have a preferences file, copy lyxrc.defaults
to lyxrc and stick it in there. (Or stick it in lyxrc.defaults, even
though editing that file is apparently equivalent to tearing the tag off
a mattress.)
