Thanks for the tips and your kind efficiency "Uwe Stöhr" a écrit > Yes, you can there only update within a MiKTeX-version. That means you get > there updates only for MiKTeX 2.4 when you have 2.4 installed. But now > only MiKTeX 2.6 is supported by the MiKTeX developers.
The problem is that when you get the MiKTeX update windows during the installation, you just got the choice to check the updates for 2.4 or to update to 2.5. However and ahead of updating you shall check on the site .... then you reach the page advising you that 2.5 (if i remember properly) is not supported anymore without advising you that a 2.6 version exists. shall I missed something or is there a link I did not find ? > >> completing the installation process, LyX 1.5.1 crashed when starting. > > Hmm, a crash is normally not a problem with incompatibilities between > installed LyX-versions. > Could you please start LyX by running directly the lyx.exe? Then a console > window is opened together with LyX showing you some debugging output. ....When I launch "lyx.exe", I just have a window opening then closing immediately and remaining black during opening which is lasting less than half a second. The same when launching using "lyxLauncher.exe". Here I have two successive windows nothing inside (may be I do not see anything even if there is something) lasting each less than half a second. > > > My former version LyX 1.4.3 svn is still working properly > > But SVN-versions are not stable one so this could eventually be a problem.
