But, if I follow you properly, when you have got one installation, let us
say 1.4.1, you just need to install 1.4.3 and keep former Miktex,
ImageMagick, Ghostscript, Aspell ( I am not sure ) and GSView or to update
them directly.
As such I should have just to download LyX 1.4.3. Am I correct ?
Yes, that is correct. Once you have all the ancillary programs
installed (although calling MikTeX "ancillary" is a bit of the tail
wagging the dog), you need only upgrade LyX itself (using the more
compact of the installers). Similarly, ImageMagick, Ghostscript/GSView
and MikTeX can be upgraded independently. (I would be a bit hesitant to
upgrade Aspell, as the connections from LyX to Aspell are hard-wired.)
In point of fact, I don't know that I've ever upgraded ImageMagick, I
upgrade Ghostscript at best sporadically, but I do try to keep MikTeX up
to date, and that seems to work well for me.
