Re: Lyx 1.6.6.1 on Windows - Help broken

Any suggestions? Perhaps you could try another binary version of the installer. There are 2 windows installer branches IIRC, the normal and the alternative. This last one is done by Uwe Stöhr and proposes 3 different installers (update, small and full). I use 1.6.6.1 on XP, installed with LyX-1661-4-24-AltInstaller-Small.exe, and documentation is fine. Best regards, Olivier. PS: which miktex ?

Any suggestions? Can you open Help LaTeX Configuration? If so, are the article class (section 2.1) and the scrbook class (section 3.28) marked 'yes'? (Help Introduction uses the article class; most if not all of the remaining help files use scrbook, I think.) If article was not found, then chances are LyX can't see your MiKTeX distribution. If that's the case, try putting the MiKTeX bin directory on your system command path and then reconfigure LyX. If it does see article and scrbook, then something else is up. /Paul
