I am getting the dreaded "ImageMagick Studio library and utility

to start when I edit a copy of a Lyx file. Lyx seems to work OK on
files I created previously.
I searched here and the only solution seems to be to re-install Lyx. I
have found that approach does work. That's OK because it is time to
upgrade anyway although it would be good to have a better workaround.
Perhaps one of the Windows people can explain why this happens.
Unfortunately, I'm not on Windows, so I'm not going to be any help.
Questions:
2. I want to install from a Windows binary. I found the list of files
at the end of the email on the binaries page but no explanation on
what they are.
Could someone explain what they are or point me to the proper one to
use with my computer (Windows 7 64 bit)?
The exe files are the ones you want, and the later ones are updates. So,
e.g., in this case, you'd want either LyX-2.0.6-Bundle-2.exe or
LyX-2.0.6-Installer-2.exe. I believe the former contains everything you
need to run LyX, whereas the latter downloads what it needs? I'm not sure.
I never know whether to uninstall the previous version. IIRC, in the
past I have not and the update seems to work OK. What is the suggested
thing to do?
For what it's worth, my sense is that, on Windows, you're best off
uninstalling and re-installing.
