I followed your recommendation installing using LyXWin installer without
uninstalling former versions. During installation, check for Miktex update
(no one availabe Miktex version 2.4.1667)[ I do not update to 2.5],
completing the installation process, LyX 1.5.1 crashed when starting.
- My former version LyX 1.4.3 svn is still working properly and I still have
former version 1.4
1) May I uninstall 1.5.1 version without disturbing 1.4.3 and try to
reinstall it
2) I was looking to install JabRef but after installation the LyXWin
installer advise me that it was not properly installed even it started .
Might it be any relation regarding further crash of 1.5.1 ? ..anyway, I
uninstall it.
3) for information LyX1.5.1 like others LyX versions is installed in program
files when MikTeX is directly under C
4) I had a look inside the program files and I found a tmp in Resources
directory named tmpdpmjmf.log. I do not know if it might be useful but here
is the text:

5) I have been surprised because the configuration at the end of
installation has been done very quickly when generally it last a very long
time
any clue
Thanks
