Error converting to loadable format + updating Lyx
I am getting the dreaded ImageMagick Studio library and utility programs has stopped working followed by Error converting to loadable format with my LyX Version 2.0.5.1 on a Windows 7 64 bit system. FWIW, this has happened to me in past Lyx versions and seems to start when I edit a copy of a Lyx file. Lyx seems to work OK on files I created previously. I searched here and the only solution seems to be to re-install Lyx. I have found that approach does work. That's OK because it is time to upgrade anyway although it would be good to have a better workaround. Questions: 1. Are there any improved ways for dealing with the errors? 2. I want to install from a Windows binary. I found the list of files at the end of the email on the binaries page but no explanation on what they are. Could someone explain what they are or point me to the proper one to use with my computer (Windows 7 64 bit)? I never know whether to uninstall the previous version. IIRC, in the past I have not and the update seems to work OK. What is the suggested thing to do?

So, e.g., in this case, you'd want either LyX-2.0.6-Bundle-2.exe or LyX-2.0.6-Installer-2.exe. I believe the former contains everything you need to run LyX, whereas the latter downloads what it needs? I'm not sure. I never know whether to uninstall the previous version. IIRC, in the past I have not and the update seems to work OK. What is the suggested thing to do? For what it's worth, my sense is that, on Windows, you're best off uninstalling and re-installing.
