AMSmath. MWE below.
The subequations module in LyX creates the subequations environment for
me. However, the way the inset scales horizontally is, often, less than
desirable. At some point, I'd like to capture this functionality in with
the built-in equation numbering, labeling, etc.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
The two most important equations to me are
\begin{subequations}
\begin{equation}\label{eq:1}
e = m c ^ 2,
\end{equation}
\begin{equation}\label{eq:2}
f = m a
\end{equation}
\end{subequations}
where Eq.~\ref{eq:1} is preferred to Eq.~\ref{eq:2}.
\end{document}

Of course I *install* LyX under Windows to test it. As I also said, it is my intention to release 'testing' versions which, presumably, will be installed by people on different systems. I'm hoping to get to this fairly soon. Problems that turn up that way will be fixed. I agree, of course, that it would be better if the person responsible for the Windows installer was a Windows user. But, at the moment, we don't have anyone who is (i) willing to take that on and (ii) willing to abide by decisions of the LyX team. Riki

No, I don't see why it matters whether we compile LyX on Windows or on Linux, and nothing you said seems to address that. I just gave you two examples why only installing LyX on a Windows PC could unveil problems: - the installer must assure that LyX is not currently running when installing. The plugin that should do this fails now since the latest Win 10 update from March. Yes, the plugin was already declared deprecated but we both missed this. We are all humans so only frequent testing on different Windows systems will uncover such cases. - the other example was the installation of LyX. There was a nasty bug in MiKTeX that made it crash when LyX's configure.py was run. This was no LyX bug but for the LyX users the effect was the same - LyX became unusable for those who had MiKTeX already installed. I noticed this during my tests, informed the MiKTeX developer and he fixed it within 2 days. So if the goal is still to deliver a working LyX system it is not enough to compile it and its installer. One must test the different components on different Windows systems. One more example: ImageMagick releases made frequently problems in the past. Some released had general problems with EPS and PDF images. How will you see this if not testing on Windows? The crux is that the users can't know what is causing a problem. They just see e,g, that some images won't be displayed within LyX. Therefore I run different image tests for every installer I release, on Win 7 and Win 10. Sometimes only the combination of a certain Ghostscript and ImageMagick release caused issues. I fixed the particular NSIS plugin problem now in the installer for FreeCAD by using the plugin "nsProcess". I'll backport this to the LyXWinInstaller and you should do this for your installer as well. regards Uwe

If we put our observations together we can subsum: "Install missing packages on-the-fly" probable doesn't matter for LyX purpose. All the best. Jürgen

Why is that setting recommended? I am using MiKTeX with the default Ask me first setting and LyX seems to work fine with it so far. It is the "do not presume that the user knows what he is doing" philosophy. I would not recommend it either. JMarc
