Good morning Lyx'ers :)

I'm just wondering why Gerhard's lyx141\bin directory contains a sh.exe, while on my WinXP-Installation the sh.exe is in the msys\1.0\bin folder. I did not use an all-in-one-installer (is there one for Lyx141-Win32 already?), but rather installed the prerequisites step by step, including manually adding the msys\1.0\bin folder to my PATH in order for configure being able to run. Could it be that everything, including msys, was installed into the lyx141 directory (which would leave the sh.exe in it's bin subfolder and probably cause some overwritten files or confusion with relative paths)? On my system, for example, I used a common c:\lyx folder, containing separate subfolders for the prerequisites, e.g. \msys, \python, \lyx141, \gs etc.).

HTH,
Bjoern

I do not understand where thze msys directory should be.
sh.exe is in my case located in ...\lyx141\bin.
There no path entry to this directory. But I cannot start sh from that directory. There was only one entry made in the PATH EnvVar during installation pointing to miktex\bin I checked my complete system disc and there is only the sh.exe in the lyx141\bin directory. There I found a dll called msys-1.0.dll too.

What other directories should be added to the PATH EnvVar ?
