Hello LyXers,
a new version of the alternative Windows installer for LyX is available. This version comes with
MiKTeX 2.8 and the latest Python and ImageMagick to be able to install LyX under Windows 7.
Moreover this version brings a new feature: It includes eLyXer, a LyX to HTML converter. After the
installation of LyX you should be able to view and export your documents as HTML. If there are
problems with the HTML export, please report them to elyxer-users<at>nongnu.org.
Note: It is not necessary to touch your existing LyX installation! This version was primarily
released to support Windows 7 and to test eLyXer. The included LyX 1.6.4 is exactly the same as
included in the previous installer version. Therefore only use this version when you do a fresh LyX
installation and when you want to test the new features.
