Vincent, Thanks for the reply. I noted that the GUI bug was in an earlier release, (V1.6.0 I think), but it seemed to disappear in V1.6.1-1. Well at least is does not occur in my installation. The statement about the finding Miktex was to indicate that there appears to be an issue with the installer in that it finds that there is a Miktex distribution but is unable to fill in the path to the latex.exe file. Probably the wrong list to be talking about this anyway. Looking forward to the final official distribution.

This is a known bug indeed, but it is in the qt-library we use, so we can't do much about this. In the most recent release of qt (4.5), this bug is solved, but we did not include it yet in the distribution. >Also when the program installed it did not find my Miktex distribution, >location even though it indicated that the distribution existed.

The 'official' LyX 1.6.2 installer is not yet available (which I regret), so you probably have used the 'alternative' installer to install LyX. This installer for instance installs a lyx.bat file which is used to start LyX. That's why it looks like the behaviour has changed. >Have other users experienced there issues? > >Thanks in advance.
