It seems there's a problem in the path to the default PDF viewer. If I added the full path to Acrobat Reader in the file format configuration as follows:
c:\PROGRA~1\Adobe\READER~1.0\Reader\acrord32.exe after rendering the PDF, the reader is run but gets hung with about 49% of the processor used. Then if I add quotation marks to the path like: "c:\PROGRA~1\Adobe\READER~1.0\Reader\acrord32.exe" it works just fine, but when I close and reload LyX, the path is moved to the editor field (instead of the viewer field), check marks for the document format and the vectorial graphic format are cleared and both quotation marks are put at the end of the path, rendering the document format unusable (and, of course, it doesn't get shown in the "View" menu): c:\PROGRA~1\Adobe\READER~1.0\Reader\acrord32.exe"" So, can it be a LyX related problem, more than an installer related one?
