I forgot: I used Uwe's AltInstaller.


Opening a 1.5.x doc requires that lyx2lyx, a Python script, be run. Do you have the same installation of Python on both boxes (just the subset that Uwe bundles, or a full install on both)? Also, you might check try converting a file manually on the Vista box, using a DOS shell. This would look something like

>"C:\Program Files\LyX16\python\python.exe" "C:\Program Files\LyX16\Resources\lyx2lyx\lyx2lyx" doc.lyx

where doc.lyx is the old document. If it works, the converted file will be written on screen. I'm wondering if perhaps there's a permission problem accessing Python?
