Hello everyone,
I currently have 2.4.4, and using TeXLive, and have many ongoing
files, with special configurations in the preamble, the document
properties and more. (Hebrew user)
There was someone who initially set up everything for me and so I
don't quite understand why he did some things but it works so I don't
touch it.
So now when i went to install LyX 2.5 it wanted to install in
/progtamfiles, and it lookes like my 2.4.4 was installed someplace
else (not exactly sure where, is there a way to figure out?) so I
don't know if setting it up in the program files is going to work as
intended or mess some of my configurations/macros/shortcuts.
I am not on Windows, so I can only give you limited advice.
The LyX installer does, I believe, install LyX into \ProgramFiles. It
should therefore be possible to install 2.5 alongside 2.4. I believe
also that your 2.4 settings will be copied over into a new user
directory, and the old one will be left untouched. So installing 2.4
should not, I think, affect anything with 2.4. That said, it probably
would be a good idea to back up your 2.4 user directory before
installing 2.5. You can find out where it is by looking at Help> About LyX.
Your 2.4 files should continue to work just fine in 2.5. If they do not,
then that is a bug on our end.
