2) After uninstalling all my LyX packages, and surveying my Software disk, I
found that there is still some parts installed:
- Aspell 6.0 which I uninstalled manually
Because the official install don't uninstall aspell. The alternative installer asks you if you want
to uninstall aspell when it was installed together with LyX.
So when you need an absolute fresh install, uninstall Aspell and all its
dictionaries manually.
- an empty directory named c:\kpcms with a subdirectory cmscp
No LyX stuff, definitively.
- a c:\localtexmf directory with subdir "dvipdfm, dvips, fonts, pdftex, tex"
with some files inside

All MiKTeX-stuff. So it seems that your MiKTeX installation is quite old because I think since 2
years MiKTeX's uninstaller will also remove them. Please check in Windows software list if you can
still uninstall MiKTeX from there, if yes do so _completely_. If not, remove the folders manually.
Also check the MiKTeX is no longer in your registry.

This is how I did it:
- I first uninstalled LyX 1.4.x and MiKTeX
- I uninstalled LyX 1.4.3 ( or 5?) svn that I has installed for testing
- I installed LyX 1.5.1 using the complete installer version
- I installed LyX 1.4.5 using this installer
Regarding version LyX 1.4.5 , ie "LyXWin145Small-2-17.exe 21385231 bytes",
would you be kind to advise me regarding the interest of reinstalling it if
you have 1.5.1 already?
I don't understand. First install LyX 1.5.1 using the complete version to get also the latest
MiKTeX, then aou can additionally install LyX 1.4.5 using the LyXWin145Small-2-17.exe.
You can uninstall LyX 1.4.5 later if you want.
