Try installing the newer sed from sed.exe direct onto C drive. Ensure that the GnuWin32 bin directory is in your path.
My path is:
c:\im\imagemagick-5.5.3-q16;C:\GnuWin32\bin;C:\Ghostgum\gsview;C:\WINNT\ system32;C:\WINNT;C:\WINNT\system32\WBEM;C:\Tcl\bin;C:\Miktex\texmf\mikt ex\bin\;C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\AUTODE~1;C:\Adobe\Reader;C:\gs\gs8.00\bin;C :\Ghostgum\gsview;C:\l2r
For a quick check to see if you are using the newer sed after this:
From within lyx 1.3.3 - reconfigure (1.3.2 you will need to open a cmd window and cd to c/??/lyx/share/lyx and run configure.bat) Check the resulting log in the shell window If it has gone through without an error and also you can now read the latex configuration file (from lyx help menu) then all is ok.
However, if it after running reconfigure the resulting listing shows towards the end "unknown option to s" or something along those lines then it is still using the older (supplied by Ruurd) version of sed.
installing sed with the GnuWin32 setup package and putting it in the path really does work.
I don't know how this is different to just replacing sed.exe and associated dll's manually in the lyx/bin directory as that one is added to the path by Ruurd's configure script anyway, and that results in sed usage errors as someone already reported on the list.
Thanks for the tip,
