The reason is that LyX.exe somehow depends on msvcr90.dll, which is

'bin' directory solved the problem.

Another thing is that the installed LyX uses %APPDATA%\LyX2.0
directory for its settings, instead of %APPDATA%\lyx20, used by all the
previous 2.0 prereleases (except 'my' unofficial AltInstaller, due to
a bug).

I can also confirm, that LyX 2.0rc1 dictionaries are totally
unusable (!) also on windows, due to spellchecking bug (F7 doesn't
work, among other things). Because of this, I cannot test the new
feature of the installer - included dictionaries and thesauri.

No problem here.

Is the spellchecker engine correctly specified in Tools-Preferences-Language ?

No, LyX 1.6.9 contains the right file.

I am not sure this is wise... might even be a good reason to step back

Windows 2000 is 12 years old and no longer receives security fixes. 
Therefore it's hardly used anymore.


I'm maintaining a dozen of dependencies and simply don't have the time to 
support different compilers. Last year I decided to use MSVC 2010 for the 
new dependency platform in order to be future proof. Spending months to 
develop new dependency packages which only support an old compiler just 
didn't make sense to me.

Not really true. But I am suspecting that MSVC doesn't support Win2000 
on purpose... Anyway, those who want LyX will have to upgrade to XP or 
Linux then :-)
