Hello LyX testers,

- fix bug that the installer ignored for some cases when LyX should only
installed for the current user
Hi Uwe,
The installer doesn't create the "lyx16" application data folder for all
users anymore (unless asked to of course).
However, it still creates and fills the "Aspell" app data folder for all
users, even if I ask to install for a single user.
A few annoying things when upgrading to RC5:
1- My figures (pdf) do not display in LyX anymore... I get "Error
converting to loadable format" everywhere. Looks like the same issue as
another user on the mailing-list.
2- reconfigure does not work (which probably explains point 1 above):
an error window pops-up saying:
"The system reconfiguration has failed.
Default Textclass is used but LyX may not be able to work properly.
Please reconfigure again if needed."
If launched in a console, I have this (between dashes):
--------------------------------------
D:\LyXSVN\lyx-devel\src\frontends\qt4\Menus.cpp(588): Menu warning: menu
entries "Specific Manuals|p" and "Personnalisation|P" share the same
shortcut.
'import site' failed; use -v for traceback
Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: No module named genericpath
--------------------------------------
There is indeed no genericpath.py nowhere, and that explains why the
reconfigure after installing is soooo fast ;-)
I could not find that file in RC4 after reinstalling it. I "made one"
by copying that page:
http://www.koders.com/python/fidB1801D52A7E500D99DFF977091F108F5D906B7F6.aspx?s=md5
into a text file that I called genericpath.py, but then it complained
not to find "_abcoll" module. I am stuck there... I could not find that
file on the net.
3- layout format error when loading my documents: I had to increase the
format number.
I changed the lines
Format 7
to
Format 11
and they are now fine with RC5.
Best regards,
Olivier
