Dear LyX Windows users,
yesterday I noticed a severe bug in the LaTeX system "MiKTeX" that LyX
is usually using under Windows. The problem is that if you
- upgrade MiKTeX or LyX
or
- install a new LaTeX package
or
- refresh the MiKTeX package database
you will end up in a broken LaTeX with error messages like "unknown
procedure entry point".
I experimented around for more than 2 hours but could not find a
workaround once LaTeX is broken. Even a reinstallation of LyX or MiKTeX
doesn't help since the result are always broken DLLs and I could not
find a way to prevent this.
Therefore I strongly recommend not to change anything in your LaTeX
setup nor to compile LyX documents that might use special LaTeX packages
hat are not yet installed on your PC.
Also don't install another version of LyX or reinstall LyX.
I hope this issue will be fixed soon and report back.
regards Uwe
