I have tried to make a clean install of RC5: I have uninstalled RC5; I have renamed my ApplicationData/Lyx16 folder to Lyx16old and erased the lyx keys from the registry HKCU and HKLM. I have then reinstalled RC5 using Uwe's installer. I cannot start Lyx anymore. I get the following error:
LyX : reconfigure le rÃ(c)pertoire utilisateur 'import site' failed; use -v for traceback Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:/Program Files/LyX 1.6.0rc5/bin/../Resources/configure.py", line 11, i n <module> import sys, os, re, shutil, glob File "C:\Program Files\LyX 1.6.0rc5\bin\lib\os.py", line 63, in <module> import ntpath as path File "C:\Program Files\LyX 1.6.0rc5\bin\lib\ntpath.py", line 11, in <module> import genericpath ImportError: No module named genericpath LyX: TerminÃ(c) ! LayoutFileList::Read: unable to find textclass file `'. Exiting. I observe that the config folder Application Data/lyx16 is created but remains empty after the installation and launch of RC5. I will then restore RC3 using the saved config folder and registry keys. If you have an idea about this problem, I would be happy to hear it. Best regards, Murat PS.
