Hi Sachin, thanks for wanting to help improve the layout.

There is no standard way to do this but I suggest the following:

looking in the .layout file, I see:
# Author: Jacob Bishop  based on the apa 
# layout written by Randy Gobbel.

seems confusing, but since there is an email for Jacob, I would use
that. (further, looking at the git log, Jacob is indeed the author)

So then go to https://www.lyx.org/trac and make a new bug report. Choose
the component "layout". In the CC file add Jacob's email. Be sure to
specify your version of LyX in the LyX ticket.

Let me know if something above does not make sense.

Thanks again for your help!

OK, the new installer fixed the problems, I got confirmations from Win10, Win7 
and Win Vista users.

‎Therefore every Win user should only use the new installer that will hopefully 
soon be on ftp.lyx.org as well.

Sorry for the inconvenience‎ and regards Uwe

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.

LyX 2.2.1 works with the new installer you propose.Good news!Richard, can you please put the new installer to ftp.lyx.org?(all I did was to replace the DLLs with the ones of MSVC2015 update 2 (these are the ones still shipped as the MSVC runtime DLLs) instead of the latest update 3 although I compiled using update 3)  Regards Uwe 2016-07-26 23:27 GMT+02:00 Uwe Stöhr :Am 26.07.2016 um 12:13 schrieb emile lunardon:

I have updated LyX2.2.0 to 2.2.1 on my PC under Windows 8.1.
Now it is impossible to launch LyX. The following error message is returned

lyx.exe - Erreur d'application
l'application n'a pas réussi à démarrer correctement (0xc07b). Cliquez
sur Ok pour fermer l'application.


Ouch! Do you use a 32bit version of Win 8.1 or a 64bit version? Does it help to reinstall LyX 2.2.1 using this new installer?:
