Sorry if I'm not providing any extra information that I should be but I don't really know much about python (or Windows for that matter). Since in theory it is supposed to work, is it worth trying to install a recent Linux version of LyX and trying that? Thanks for all your help and any suggestions are appreciated! Regards, Christian.

Is this problem caused by the Windows version? Would installing a recent Linux version and using this to do the conversion help? Or is it simply that files from my old version (1.1.6fix4) are just too old to be accessed in the more recent version? If so, what are my options? Regards, Christian.

Converting from older version
Hi, I have a large and somewhat complex LyX document that I been working on under LyX 1.1.6fix4 on a Linux system for a number of years. For various reasons I now need to keep working on this with LyX under Windows (version 1.3.5). However, when I go and open up the file I get a message An error occurred running the conversion script. Can anyone suggestion how I can fix this problem? In particular, it is ESSENTIAL that the document not be damaged in any way! Thanks in advance, Christian.
