I do have perl in my system (on path too) running normally all the time. Your are right. I found the .lyx file I got from Unix is not DOS format. So I used unix2dos to change it. Now, it still can't open the changed .lyx file. It said "ERROR! An error occured while running the conversion script." Below is the reLyx.bat. I don't understand why it has a %~p0 there. It doesn't seem to be a right Windows env var.
@echo off rem Wrapper script for Win32 rem written by Ruurd Reitsma set PERLLIB=%~p0..\lib %~p0\perl.exe %~p0\reLyX %1 %2 %3
I tried to run this script in DOS Prompt: perl reLyX xxx (xxx.tex is a Latex file) and it produced a .lyx file successfully. However the same error message occured when I used Lyx to open this .lyx file. Furthermore, I noticed the Window environmental variable PERLLIB became ~p0..\lib, which doesn't seem right.
Anything wrong with the reLyX script ?
Thanks, Frank

A simple system is to load the file with vim under windows or linux (or kwrite/kate, or any editor with end-of-line control) and to save it again with Windows format. Or use little efficient scripts as unix2dos, available on the Internet.
