Glad you got it fixed. I thought we had an enhancement request open to prevent duplicate entries for certain styles (like title, and as you found I guess address also). But I can't find it.

The name is Walter. Anyway, as a user this is the error that gets presented to you. If that is not specific enough, it might be worthwhile to have more specific error message. Either way, it was a PEBCAK, I had been using the Adress field twice and omitted to use "end of letter" (which I do not remember being part of KOMA-Script Letter v2 earlier). Regards, Walter

Suggestions on how to deal with this would be most welcome. Walter, First, did you examine the error log to see the details? Second, this frequently occurs when you have an unintended character, such as a digbat, inserted in the document or you're missing a package. Try reducing the letter to a minimal document that compiles, then incrementally add text until you discover the problem area. HTH, Rich

I have not tried, but should there not be a %-sign at the end of each line ??? Plus, there is a ',' too much on the first line. So this is I believe not a cross-platform issue but wrong syntax (which happens to be forgiven or not depending on the platform and Koma version). Try putting everything on one line, i.e. \KOMAoptions{fromalign=right, fromrule=aftername ,fromlogo=true, backaddress=false} and I am almost sure everything works. HTH, /Konrad

Thanks, but immediate problem is now that after re-installing Lyx, I discovered none of the document classes had been installed, so I've installed Koma - Script via MikeTex and reconfigure either freezes or gives me a reconfigure error.
