I have installed Lyx on a Win XP system using the "LyX-163-4-19-AltInstaller-Complete" installation package. In fact I have installed and de-installed it 4 times but each time it fails to run. I click the desktop shortcut and the batcvh file runs, briefly opens a terminal windows and then closes! Not even an error message. I wonder if anyone can advise how I can trouble-shoot the installation. There doesn't seem to be anything in the documentation. I re-ran the config using the command: "C:\Program Files\LyX 1.6.3\resources\configure.py" and it went thru OK but the result was that Lyx still didn't work. I already had Python installed on the PC when I performed the installation. I wonder if that makes any difference?
I'd be grateful for some help as I am very keen to try out Lyx and I am very disppointed that I can't seem to get over this first hurdle.
