This is now no longer possible in the new installer version: http://sourceforge.net/projects/lyxwininstaller/ Have you in the meantime been able to uninstall LyX? If not try this: 1. uninstall LyX as admin 2. remove in the registry all occurrences of LyX 3. login as user without admin privileges 4. check if you can find a "lyx.exe" on your PC, if so, delete the whole Lyx installation folder 5. remove again in the registry all occurrences of LyX (this time you will clean up residues in the user-specific area of the registry) regards Uwe

Is there any file that I can remove such that the installer let me install again? No because as in your case LyX was installed as admin, the registry settings are in HKLM and they cannot be modified by normal users. regards Uwe

This is now fixed in ImageMagick and so the installer supports installing without admin privileges: https://sourceforge.net/projects/lyxwininstaller/files/LyXWinInstaller/2.0.4/ regards Uwe

After discussing this with the ImAgemagick developers, they changs it but I haven't found the time to test and implement this yet. The installer says that it can't install it, but it is in my lyx folder? Because as user you cannot write to HKLM in the registry. I installed lyx 203 w/o admin rights and I haven't got any problems with image conversion. This is because we used a self-compiled ImageMagick which doesn't require keys in HKLM. But this is no proper solution, because we would then not always up to date with the latest IM version. Moreover we should not fork programs if there are tiny problems but try to encourage the developers to fix this. Check what version of IM you have in your 2.0.3 and what in the testing 2.0.4 and you see that yours is outdated (contains even security issues). However, with this installer I have. Give me some time. regards Uwe

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.
