I tried the official installer but I got the same problems and more. It
will not launch the Acrobat program to show the pdf file when I
selection View->PDF (PDFLATEX).
If I open the file manually, the update will fail because LyX cannot
write to the file that is open.
No, I am not using Vista 64bit. It is a 32bit version.
Thanks.

problems with this:
2. If the pdf is open in Acrobat, the update would fail. Is there a
way to avoid this?
That I couldn't solve because I don't have access to Vista 64bit.
You could try t reinstall LyX using the other installer, because this
use another method of the PDF update but other Vista users reported
problems with this installer concerning the way it hides LyX's console
window.
Could you please report how it works for you?
