I downloaded your Lyx1.3.6_1 version 2 installer yesterday, Nov. 15, the full version. But I only uninstall my old Lyx1.3.6. Still the install went well. And it loaded Gsview to c:\program files, which was not where I have one. It showed up in the Edit/Preferences/Path prefix. Strangely, the Path prefix also showed gs8.13 which I've deleted in favor of gs8.51and which is also in my Windows path. So I'm not sure where it came from,
The installer checks in the registry for ther version numbers of Ghostscript, if one is found its path is added to the path_prefix. 8.13 comes before 8.51 in the registry and you therefore had troubles. Have you deinstalled version 8.13 before you installed 8.51? Having two version installed mostly error prone. But anyway another user reported me that old GS (de)installers don't delete the registry keys correctly so that my installer find wrong versions. I'll check this and if this is the case I'll change the code so that only the greatest version number is taken for the path_prefix.
Sigh, I've never thaught that the installer stuff will be so complicated and takes so much time.
