Hello all, I'm new to Lyx - just trying to check it out. I downloaded the "windows bundle" installation for version 1.5.2. When running the install I came upon the curious set of messages:
1. MikTeX 2.6 said it installed ok 2. LyX installer said that MikTeX 2.6 did *not* install ok Proceeding with the install, everything else ran ok. Now, upon starting up LyX I get the message: --------------------------- LyX 1.5.2-1 --------------------------- LyX has been closed because of an unexpected situation. This is most likely caused by a flaw in the software. When you open your documents again, you will be able to restore an emergency save and continue working. Would you like to view detailed information about this error? --------------------------- Yes No --------------------------- The detailed information is below. It appears that Lyx is looking for a strangely named file. The message at the end of the detailed information is: TextClassList::Read: unable to find textclass file `'. Exiting. Completed Is this the result of the wierdness when installing MikTeX? Or something else? I've looked for documentation, but it all appears to be in LyX format (that is, as *.lyx files) which, while not completely unreadable don't seem to address this specific install issue. I've looked in the LyX site, but don't find a *pdf or anything I can download to look at. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. ********************************************************** Detailed Information: LyX: reconfiguring user directory '\\srvfs00\home$\ ... \WorkstationXP\Application Data\lyx15' CMD.EXE was started with the above path as the current directory.
