Hi,
I recently had problems with installing the Lyx executable (1.4.2) under WinXP.
My Miktex distribution was on my d: drive. I was installing Lyx to c:.
Whenever I tried to output a document Lyx stalled on the 1st Latex run. I
checked that Latex was ok from a DOS prompt, it was. I checked all the Lyx
paths, they were correct.
I was stumped, however, it seems that Lyx has to be on the same drive as Latex
for it to work properly.
I.e. don't install Miktex on D: and install Lyx on C:.
I haven't tried this, but I don't see why LyX should need to be on the
same drive as MiKTeX, as long as all paths are correctly set. You might
try starting LyX from a command prompt with 'lyx -dbg latex' and see if
attempting to View->DVI or File->Export->DVI generates any helpful messages.
