Re: Biblatex-LyX Windows problem
Problem solved. In that particular installation of MikTeX biber was at version 1.5, while the version of biblatex (updated via MikTeX package manager) required version 1.7. Done and it's all right now.

I think you are missing the \addbibresource.
No, the line is OK (in fact, as I wrote on Linux I have no problems).
Alternatively, I think you
can place your bibliography, file.bib, in your texmf tree and dispense
with the path in that case (but you still need the \addbibresource).
Yes, as I explained I did it but to no success.
Thank you,

Biblatex-LyX Windows problem
Dear Experts, I am not a regular user of LyX, but I do suggest this excellent programme to my students for their thesis/dissertation and the result is normally very good. Personally, I prefer using LaTeX directly. I use Biblatex with LaTeX and I was making some experiments with LyX to see what I can suggest to my students. I followed the instructions given on http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Biblatex and it's all right on my xubuntu 13.04 Linux box, provided you accept some problems with the 'verbose' styles. I tried the same files on Windows and (despite putting the bib file on the regular biblio directories, in this case the 'base' folder) I can't obtain a PDF with the citations in order. I am puzzled because I exported the file as a TEX file, run biber, but even there I could not get the desired result. I am not familiar with Windows, I'm afraid, but I'm sure that it is simply a PATH problem. I also tried to use the current directory asinput folder for the BIB file, but I could not deal with the '/' or '\' problem. I read some threads about this but could not solve the issue. I tried: * C:\soandso\soandso\file.bib did not work because it was interpreted as a command * "C:\soandso\soandso\file.bib" no success either * C:/soandso/soandso/file.bib did not find the file If a minimal file can be useful I'll upload it.
