OK, the new installer fixed the problems, I got confirmations from Win10, Win7 and Win Vista users.
Therefore every Win user should only use the new installer that will hopefully soon be on ftp.lyx.org as well.

Or is it independent? The installer comes with all necessary MSVC runtime libraries. Today I installed 2.2.1 on different PCs including one new PC and it worked fine. I have seen the bug reports but I could never reproduce them. The libraries which are part of the installer are the latest ones published together with MSVC 2015 update 3 a few days ago so I expect that they will work on every Win 10. On my private Win 10 laptop it works. However, I noticed that some Win 10 users complaining have not installed the latest Microsoft updates but since Win 10 is an OS working as a service one always needs to have all patches applied. Yes, that sucks, but this is by design of Win 10. So if Win 10 users have all Microsoft patches applied and still cannot use the installer please report back. regards Uwe
