Could you try out the executable found at

Hi Angus,
I tried the following:
ekkehart.exe it exits here as follows:
1. with no drive associated with J:
Exception caught:
boost::filesystem::is_directory: "J:\foo": The system cannot find
the path specified.
Assertion failed: false file ekkehart.cpp, line 39
This application has requested ....
2. with an empty drive associated with J:
as under 1.
3. With a drive containing a disk, I get
Exception caught:

the file specified.

ekkehart2.exe exits as follows:
4. with no drive associated with J: nothing
5. with an empty drive associated with J:
Exception caught:
boost::filesystem::is_directory: "J:\foo": The device is not
ready.
Assertion failed: false file ekkehart.cpp, line 40
6. With drive containing a disk: nothing
Lyx did not start in any of those cases but was, as I assume, not
supposed to do.
I have done this on my office computer where I have no virtual disks
installed, but my trials at home convinced me that an USB drive behaves
absolutely identically. The advantage with USB drives is that they are
quite common. If the bug is fixed for USB drives, I shall try virtual
disks as well.
If you have other proposals what to test, just let me know.
With kind regards
Ekkehart
