unfortunately it's not that simple... the file type is correctly associated with Acrobat, and I wouldn't be sure that LyX looks up the default application for a pdf in the Windows registry anyways... maybe this is also helpful - I checked my configure.log, which shows: +checking for "acrobat"... yes in -dbg mode the only helpful line seems to be D:\LyXSVN\LyX1.6.x\src\Format.cpp(303): Executing command: pdfview "C:/Users/one oftwo/AppData/Local/Temp/lyx_tmpdir.Hp1856/lyx_tmpbuf0/newfile1.pdf" (no error messages to be found...) so it seems that the pdfview command is the problem... now how to see/change what pdfview does?
