testers needed for LyX\'s Windows installer
I can't seem to get the split indexes feature to work using Miktex portable on win7 w/o admin rights. If I disable multiple indices, pdf output shows an index, but it shows only my text when it's enabled. Dutch spell check works. Kind regards, Rick Blok
RE: testers needed for LyX\'s Windows installer
I've noticed the warning in the installer, but I've installed 2.0.3 in the same way and I haven't noticed any problems. MikTeX is the portable version and sits in a directory were I've got write access. Lyx is using it (got multiple versions on the computer) since the right folder is in lyxrc.dist, preferences dialog and in tex information, and I've got no latex in my path. I can't see any new files in MikTeX's bin folder. I will try later on a computer were I've got admin privileges.

The installer in general still requires admin privileges. The problem is in one hand Imagemagick and on the other hand MiKTeX. For MiKTeX I did not yet find time to check the case that MiKTeX was installed as admin, but LyX not. Then it is impossible to enable splitindex and some other features because files like a Perl interpreter need to be added to MiKTeX's bin folder. If it was installed as admin, LyX installed as user can't write in this directory. So does it work if you install the test release with admin privileges? regards Uwe
RE: testers needed for LyX\'s Windows installer
Doesn't work on a computer with admin rights either. I saw that files were added to miktex's bin folder, but when I compile a document with multiple indexes, I see only my text and no indexes. I updated miktex, but that also didn't help.

RE: testers needed for LyX\'s Windows installer
I've just checked the computer were I don't have admin rights, and I don't see perl.exe in the bin folder, and I also don't have a lib-folder.

But does it work if you reconfigure LyX after updating MiKTeX's file name database? Of not, does it work if you rebuild MiKTeX's formats (the button below refreshing the database), then refresh the file name database and then reconfigure LyX? If still not working, could you give me a list of new files you see in MiKTeX's bin folder and do you have a older named "~\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\lib" which contains the subfolders Exporter, File, Getopt, IO and warnings? Many thanks for helping testing and best regards Uwe
RE: testers needed for LyX\'s Windows installer
I've attached my test file. Btw, what problems are there with Imagemagick when lyx is installed without admin rights? The installer says that it can't install it, but it is in my lyx folder? I installed lyx 203 w/o admin rights and I haven't got any problems with image conversion. However, with this installer I have.

As the Perl interpreter is there, it can be that I need to deliver more of its plugins.

In my program files folder though, not in my home folder. This is correct. Note that the installer is not yet ready to be used without admin priviledges. There are still many open issues but I'm currently working on this. thanks and regards Uwe nieuwbestand1.lyx Description: nieuwbestand1.lyx
Compiling pdf sometimes stops when child document has a different textclass
Hi, I'm writing a report that has several child documents. One of these child documents has a different textclass than the master document because my custom class clashes with knitr with tikz device if my graphs aren't cached. Lyx noticed it and asked me if I wanted to continue, I check 'never ask again' and press ok. The document compiles fine. However, sometimes Lyx keeps processing my documents for ever, but without any activity (no cpu load, nor pdflatex running). I once let it continue overnight without result. I've noticed a few times that when it hangs, the last entry in the message log is that the child document has a different textclass. When lyx compiles my document successfully, I cannot find such a message in the log. Also, I can't remember that this has happened when the child document has the 'right' text class. Has anyone else noticed this? I can't reproduce it consistently and it could just be me/my install/computer. Kind regards, Rick Blok

Re: Compiling pdf sometimes stops when child document has a different textclass
I do have v0.5, but lyx hanging and tikz errors are unrelated issues. When export just the child document with my textclass Lyx usually spits out error messages instead of pdf, but not always though. I suspect it's any of the packages used in the document class that tikz doesn't like. I've no problems with tikz once my graphs are cached. Kind regards, Rick Blok
