You can find the resulting installer itself at

just wondering: a colleague wants to install lyx under windows. should he
use this installer or is it better to use ruurd's files...?



thanks & regards, ed.



I'd say that this 1.3.6pre1 (:-)) was uniformly better than Ruurd's 1.3.5 
port.



Your colleague should install python, perl, minsys, miktex (or similar), 
imagemagic and should add these paths to the path_prefix variable in 
lyxrc.defaults/preferences.



Known bugs: only that it is currently impossible to load graphics files 
containing ':' (C:\foo\bar) using the file browser.


Hi, Ed.


If your colleague were to grab the version of lyx_setup_136.exe that's now 
on my devel.lyx.org pages, he'd find that this particular bug has been 
squashed.
