Hello LyX Users, I�m trying to get LyXWin running on Windows 2000. I have installed lyx-1.3.5-win32-nc.exe according to the instructions on the LyX WikiWiki � LyX.WindowsSetup webpage.
After a bit of fiddling around all appeared to be working OK. I seem to be able to create, view etc new documents but I get an error when I try to open some of my older thesis chapters which were created in an older version of LyX (1.1.6 fix 3). When I try to open those files I get an error saying: �ERROR! An error occurred while running the converstion script.� I have run LyX in the debugging mode from a command prompt to see what is going on and it seems that LyX is unable to run lyx2lyx. The file C:\lyx\share\lyx\lyx2lyx\lyx2lyx exists (4.95 KB) but LyX does not seem to be able to run it. I tried installing a newer version of sed.exe but LyX did not appear to be able to find the newer version of sed. I have included the debugging output at the end of this email. Does anyone know what I can do to get lyx2lyx working as I really need to open and use my older documents? Please cc: any responses directly to me as I am currently not subscribed to the users list as I only have access to webmail at the moment. Many thanks in advance.
