That you check every 500 ms for an eventually changed PDF-file. Some people complained about this. A user contacted me and we developed together a simple program that is only executed when the PDF is changed. Unfortunaltely file handles seem to be handled differently in Vista, so that this program fails there.
What is the reason for this complaint? It does not affect the performance in any way. If you know of a better solution to get the same result, let me know and I will change it.
Anyway I think PDF viewing that works on Vista is more important than a complaint of a user that's probably just about programming style.
In principle yes, but some people also complained about your lyxc.exe. This name is confusing as the lyx.exe should be the executable. I developed therefore together with the same user who contacted me about the PDF stuff the LyXLauncher.exe that comes with my installer. Thus the lyx.exe is the real program, the launcher is only there to hide the console window.
So you would prefer the launcher to be called LyXLauncher.exe instead of lyx.exe? I used the latter because it's the most obvious name for the executable that starts the application in a normal way. Why did you develop a different application if renaming would also be sufficient?
I don't have strong opinions about filenames and things like that, so I would suggest to just ask the devel list for opinions and to use the same tools for all installers.
