Re: Installation problem on WinXP
Well... yes: I'm using the complete Installer and the latest version 1.4.1 (something that I can't use in my beatiful Debian becasue It isn't Sid) from http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller and yes: I usually uninstall LyX before reinstalling it. I'm trying to install LyX to computers that runs WindowsXP in spanish. When attempting to install LyX in Spanish, this error happens just before the LaTeX configuration. LyX itself installs (Lyx.exe and many of the programm files) but I can not modify LyX.bat because it does not exists. When attempt to install in English, this error DOES NOT happens. Everithing is fine, even the menus are in spanish! (but not the document or spellchecker options, nothing to worry about). I think It's just a weird bug in the C programm that is in charge of making the Lyx.bat file (Can't modify because I don't understand it, I hope someboy can). Thank you very much for tracing this bug.

Did LyX itself install? (Is lyx.exe there?) If so, you can create your own batch file. Contents of mine are shown below; you would probably want to change English (en_EN) to Spanish (es_ES?). /Paul batch file begins = @echo off set LYX_LOCALEDIR=C:\Program Files\LyX141\Resources\locale if "%LANG%"=="" SET LANG=en_EN if "%~1" == "~1" goto win95 start "LyX" "C:\Program Files\LyX141\bin\lyx1.4.x.exe" %* goto end :win95 start "LyX" "C:\Program Files\LyX141\bin\lyx1.4.x.exe" %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 :end batch file ends ===

Did you use this installer?: http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller If yes, reinstall LyX and choose in the uninstaller to remove it completely. regards Uwe

Maybe this will help in the process of fixing things. I think it fixes like menus being in English instead of Spanish. Regards, Stephen
