Hi,
Yesterday I installed lyx and all necessary components using
"LyXWinInstaller for LyX 1.6.8", on Windows Vista. Today, after a
restart, the Qt applications I am developing refused to start, not
entering main.
The cause is some part of the installation process pushing MikTeX's
private bin directory on the front of the system PATH env var. This
private bin directory contains Qt dlls, which not unsurprisingly, are
incompatible with other applications that use Qt.
Solving this problem has caused me to waste many valuable hours.
