Hello,
I do not see any LyX console output on Windows 7. I have the
latest version. Adding the installation folder or its bin folder
to the PATH does not make a difference. I found the same problem
on another Windows
7 desktop.
For reference, I am using the command:
"c:\Program Files (x86)\LyX 2.3\bin\LyX.exe" -help
Thanks in advance for any information...

I don't know how to do that either and I don't know what kind of
output you are looking for. But you can get a lot of messages one might expect
in the console from the Messages Pane (under the menu View).

Hello Daniel,
Thanks for the hint. Unfortunately, besides the lack of output in the console
window, the LyX GUI does not start either.
Regards, Pierre.
What do you mean with 'the LyX GUI does not start either'?
Starting lyx, you _get_ the lyx GUI. This is the app you work with.

Hello Kornel,
When I run the command
"c:\Program Files (x86)\LyX 2.3\bin\LyX.exe" -help
from the Windows command prompt (cmd.exe), I see no effect: no GUI, no console
output. For other commands (--export and so on), I see nothing either.
Regards, Pierre.
As far as I know, the current Windows port of LyX does not generate
console output to the command prompt. If you start LyX from a command
prompt with debugging output turned on (for instance, "<some
path>\lyx.exe -dbg any"), and if the LyX GUI opens, you can see what
would have been console output via View > Messages. Starting LyX with
commands that do not open the GUI (such as -help, as Kornel points out)
will thwart this.
