Hi!
I just installed LyX 1.6 on my Windows machine and I am really excited to start using it. The first thing I tried is the
context-sensitive menu... and a smile appeared in my face :-)
But this post is about some problems detected during the installation and
during normal use.
Almost at the end of the installation, I got a "cannot write to file " error
message. The installation log looks like this:

The first time I pressed "retry" twice and I got an "unsuccessful installation" message. The second time (after uninstalling) I pressed
"ignore" and the installation continued.
When using Lyx, if I close it with a document still opened, and open LyX again, I do get the file automatically opened (I think I
should, shouldn't I?).
Cheers,
Nicolás
