This is only the degug message path: LyX was compiled on a computer using the path
"D:\LyX".
Any help on how to fix this issue would be greatly appreciated,
It seems that soemthing is misconfigured. For a quick solution, uninstall LyX completely and try to
reinstall using this installer:
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.5.1/LyX-1.5.1-3-18-AltInstaller-Small.exe
If this also don't work, uninstall LyX again completely, uninstall also MiKTeX _completely_,
uninstall Aspell, reboot, reinstall LyX using this installer:
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.5.1/LyX-1.5.1-3-18-AltInstaller-Complete.exe
I hope it helps.
regards Uwe
