Subject: Tex Information
I installed Lyx 1.3.6 on Win XP. I went through the steps as described in
wiki website. The problem is I am not able to assign the .sh files to open
with sh.exe which in the minsys folder. Because of this, I am also not
able
to get any information when I click on Tex Information drop down menu.
Also,
earlier when I had 1.3.5 in Rurd website, when I went to the bib editor,
it
used to show me all the bst files I had in the bottom tab. Now that is
also
missing. I tried installing uninstalling several times but nothing seems
to
work
Any help would be appreciated.

Dear All
Just to confirm I have the same issue with both the Tex Information and
Bibtex here on a WinXP box running 1.3.6. This suggests it is a bug rather
than a fault of your setup. Hopefully some of the experts may be able to
suggest a solution.
Interestingly I do get the drop down list of bst files but it only
contains the one I use (apsrev) in my document that I prepared initially
in 1.3.5. If I begin a new doc the list only contains "plain".

I am not an expert and only wish to address this one issue:
The problem is I am not able to assign the .sh files to open
with sh.exe which in the minsys folder.
Did you follow these Wiki instructions?
From the Wiki:
"LyX can only find programs if the folders of the program executables are
listed in the system variable called PATH. After updating the PATH (you
need administrator permissions for that) reconfigure LyX again."
Note from Ekkehart Schlicht:
If you want to collect all necessary files before installing, download LyX
1.3.6 (7.5 MB), MinSys (2.7MB),
The Minsys link is to MSYS-1.0.10.exe
Regards,
Stephen
