I've a better solution. The entries should only be made if pdflatex and
dvipdfm does really exists. The attached patch works for me.
Angus, two questions about the configure file:
- What script language is it?
- Where can I find it in the CVS reposotory? I find only the file

So what would be nice for all viewers is to check whether the extension is registered and in this case to use start with proper options as a viewers. Actually, we should add code in LyX itself to use the built-in viewers if they exist. I am not sure it would be so difficult to do. JMarc

Good idea. The actual version:
http://fkurth.de/uwest/LyX/Installer/lyx_setup_136proposal-v15.exe
checks now for the program associated with the file extension .pdf. So
it should work for all pdf viewers.
Angus, could you please test if Acroread is recognized? Thanks.

There is no reason to force the user to use acrobat if he prefers gsview or whatever. So what would be nice for all viewers is to check whether the extension is registered and in this case to use "start" with proper options as a viewers. Actually, we should add code in LyX itself to use the built-in viewers if they exist. I am not sure it would be so difficult to do. JMarc

Good idea. The actual version:
http://fkurth.de/uwest/LyX/Installer/lyx_setup_136proposal-v15.exe
checks now for the program associated with the file extension ".pdf". So
it should work for all pdf viewers.
Angus, could you please test if Acroread is recognized? Thanks.

Thanks Johann, based on your idea I implemented it now as
---
!macro GetFileExtProg ProgPath AppExe Extension
ReadRegStr ${AppExe} HKCU \
"Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\${Extension}\OpenWithList"
"a"
${if} ${AppExe} != ""
ReadRegStr ${ProgPath} HKLM \
"Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\${AppExe}" "Path"
;remove the "\" at the end
StrCpy ${ProgPath} ${ProgPath} -1
${endif}
!macroend
-
This macro is in
http://fkurth.de/uwest/LyX/Installer/Scripts/LyXUtils.nsh
The call is:
!insertmacro GetFileExtProg $PDFVPath $PDFProg ".pdf"
regards Uwe

Under HKLM I have "Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe" which stores "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" so perhaps you can use the same test for both? Don't know if it makes a difference, but it might be safer to use HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\7.0\InstallPath which on my laptop shows "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Reader" (i.e. everything but the file name). The only question is whether, on a multi-user machine, there would be different copies of Reader in limited-access directories. Seems unlikely, but ... -- Paul

Could you please thest if this installer finds Adobe Reader on your computer: http://fkurth.de/uwest/LyX/Installer/lyx_setup_136proposal-v15-2.exe thanks in advance and regards Uwe
