First of all thank you for this beta number two, because I was able to get Lyx 1.5. to work (which I couldn't do with beta1 on my transmeta crusoe notebook running winxp - see previous post for details)
I tried the "through the net" binary and the bundle binary provided on lyx.org on an empty system (no MiKTeX etc.) Two problems occurred however: 1. During the installation MiKTeX was downloaded and installed BUT the Lyx installer said that it was not installed correctly and if I wanted to try again. Trying again resulted in an error saying the MiKTeX folder was not empty. If I continue the installation (ignoring the error), this resulted in problems when I try to open my lyx files. So what I think is, that Lyx somehow does not know of miktex, even though it is there (I even updated miktex and did a reconfigure of lyx, but the problem still persisted) I was able to resolve the problem by using the installer provided by berlios. (however after installing with this installer I did not like the console window which seemed to slow down my lyx, so I reinstalled lyx with the lyx.org installer, which resulted in lyx working properly without console but with miktex functioning...) 2. The second problem is that the installer was not able to download the aspell dictionaries selected (en + de) resulting in the lyx spellchecking not to work. I tried to install the corresponding aspell6 dictionaries found on the lyx.org wiki manually, but lyx still couldn't find the dictionaries. Can anyone help, especially with the aspell problem? Thanks a lot. sk
