But there are at least two problems:
- when I want to compile (to dvi, pdf or ps)
- when I want to "reconfigure" after updating MikTeK or installed a new
package
the result is the same: LyX 1.5.4 crashes down.
Could you please start LyX by double clicking the lyx.exe? Then LyX is startet with a console
window. Do you see there any informations when LyX crashes?
It seems that you MiKTeX installation is broken for an unknown reason. To avoid endless triaging to
get it to work, I recommend to
1. uninstall LyX completely (also the user settings!) and also MiKTeX 2.7 (the unistaller offers
both) (assure that you choose in the uninstaller the option "tidy up thoroughly in the MikteX
uninstaller dialog!)
2. reinstall LyX using again complete installer variant (MiKTeX 2.7 will also
be reinstalled)
Does it then work?
If not
3. uninstall LyX completely (also the user settings!) and leave MiKTeX
4. reinstall LyX using this time the small installer variant
Does it then work?
If not
5. uninstall LyX completely
6. uninstall MiKTeX completely (assure that you choose in the uninstaller the option "tidy up
thoroughly!)
7. reinstall MiKTeX 2.7 using the basic installer you can download from
www.miktex.org
8. install LyX using the small installer variant
Then it should work.
I know that these cost you some time but you will get a working system, and I get the info what the
problem is.
So many thanks in advance and regards
