How does one tell which installer was used for 1.6.3?
My installation does have a file LyXWinUninstall.exe, with creation date
3/15/2009, 4:44 p.m., in the installation directory. Does that help to
determine which installer?
Hi,
Well, LyX 1.6.3 was released on June 4th, while 1.6.2 was released on
March 15, so it seems like this file dates from 1.6.2.
Usually, Uwe's Alternative installer is released few hours after the
announcement, while the other installer is released several days after,
so it looks like that file is from the alternative installer of 1.6.2.
I think the other installer installs the program somewhere in your
personal folder (in C:\documents and settings) when you choose to
install for the user only. I do not remember the alternative installer
doing that, so if your lyx executable is in your personal folder
(probably in one on the hidden directories "Local Settings\Application
Data", "Application Data" or "Local Settings\Apps"), it is likely the
other installer. But that's from memory, so I may be wrong.
Also, and that's again from memory [so I might very well be confused],
LyX's shortcut in the alternative installer points to a bat file,
contains the version number in its name, and is located in a sub-folder
of the start menu, together with the uninstaller. The other installer is
different, but I do not remember on which point (I think it does point
to the executable and does not have the version in the shortcut name).
Best regards,
Olivier
