Hi, while I was installing LyX 1.5.3, MikTeX was being updated. The first package updated was "ae". The updater downloaded the package but an unknown archive file type was presented while installing it. The file type was, as you can guess, "ae". I tried from two different sites with the same result. Did anybody have this kind of problem? I will attach the log:
