Installing LyX from lyx-143-5.exe on two different Windows machines (XP

resolve the problem.
LyX installs and runs flawlessly under Dapper Ubuntu at home.
Does anyway know of a solution? Thanks, Ian
First question: are these machines self-contained, or do users have
their home directories on a remote server? (There have been two reports
of this problem recently from people using remote servers.)
Assuming that your home directories are stored on the machines, you
might try opening a DOS shell and changing to the Resources folder under
the LyX installation directory. There is a script 'configure.py' there.
Try running it. (If you don't have the full Python installed and
associated with .py file types, you will need to run 'python
configure.py' or possibly '<path>\python configure.py', where <path> is
the path to the copy of Python installed by LyX.
In the event that doesn't work (it usually does), you should at least
get some informative error messages in the DOS window.
