Ouch! Do you use a 32bit version of Win 8.1 or a 64bit version? Does it

OK, then please assure that you have the latest Win 10 including all

Then (or right now if you like)
- uninstall LyX 2.2.1 _completely_

Why don't you provide a win installer if you always know what I am doing

It is sufficient to just have the dlls in the same folder as the

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.

It is an installer issue. The LyX installer does not call the official MSVC

Re: LyX 2.2.1 doesn't work on WINDOWS 8.1

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

Emile,

please keep the newsgroup in the loop.

That statement does not make sense, are you telling us that each of
the 22 small documents takes long to load into LyX?

I.e. you load the master document and then right click onto the link
of a sub document and then click on Edit?

Or do you mean making a PDF?

I would very strongly agree with Jean-Marc to send *HIM*, ie the LyX
authors the whole document(s) so they can see what the cause is.

I also would strongly suggest you upgrade your Windoze to 10 if you
can't switch to a proper computer like a Mac or a Linux box.

I would guess the reason it takes so long is because of the lyx2lyx
conversion. As a rule, we iterate through the entire document for every
single format change, often searching for regex matches as we do so.

LyX-2.2.1: Thanks!

  For those who are interested, version 2.2.1 builds and runs just fine on
Slackware-14.1. It will continue to function as expected when the OS is
upgraded to -14.2.

It is also possible that the second time the load is faster.

I have also updated LyX on an other PC under Linux. LyX2.2.1 works in a
similar way to LyX 2.2.0.

*I want to signal a problem affecting both Lyx 2.2.0 and 2.2.1:*

I have a very big document (~100 Mo Pdf mainly of text with ~ 15000 pages)
which was originally written with LyX 2.1 .
It takes more than *one hour* to open it with LyX2.2.0/2.2.1 and only a few

Once open it is possible to work as usual on the document but the amount of

LyX 2.2.1 is not running

[Roberto Fanciulli]

I update my LyX 2.2.0 to 2.2.1 version on my pc under Windows 10, 32 bit.
Latex distribution is MikTeX 2.9.
When I try to run LyX 2.2.1 an error occur:

C:\Program Files\LyX2.2\bin\VCRUNTIME140.dll can not be utilized under
Windows or it contains an error. Error code: 0xc35a.

How to solve this problem?
