Hi Uwe, >> At one of the last steps, a crash occured, complaining >> about a missing msvcr71.dll: > This is now fixed in the installer version I just uploaded: > https://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5117&release_id=12337 Yes, confirmed. Thank you! Using that new alternate installer, I also noticed that: - the console window still is there (I actually like that on slow machines ... something to watch while waiting :-) ) - the installer leaves MikTeX auto-download feature switched "on" after finish of installation (just noticed it, no complaint here) - the dictionary handling during installation works in the default "for all users" mode correctly (other than official 1.44-3 which I had problems with. Had no spare time to check out official 1.44-4 yet.) - the installer installs both English and "my computers language" (German) dictionaries, which is fine to me and certainly for completely new users, too. Great job, Uwe, thank you again. Regards, Tom Schlangen --

This file should be present on your system by default. > You are the first one since 1.5 years now having not having > this file. What Win system are you using? - The label reads "Windows XP(R) Professional OEM Software", on the CD is printed "Enthält Service Pack 2" and "Version 2002". - It was bought about 3 weeks ago - Installed on a Toshiba Satellite Pro 4270 XCD w/ 196MB RAM - Additionally only a network card and MS Network client and an USB mouse installed, all using original drivers coming along with XP - After that, online-registration at MS, then download and installation of all available service packs (about 72 or something) so far from the MS update site - No other software *whatsoever* installed - At that state, a HD image was taken That is the XP installation I have left over for LyX testing purposes, which I can reproduce by using the HD image. It probably can't get any "cleaner" than that for LyX testing purposes under XP ;-) So, if the msvcr71.dll is missing in that installation, but available on other machines, I am quite sure it must have been provided by some third party software... > But anyway, I'll include this in the next release. Yes, one should not rely on third party software to be installed _before_ LyX >> So, both installers seem to have problems related to >> either a msvcr80.dll or msvcr71.dll, on the same machine. > What msvcr80.dll problem do you have with LyXWinInstaller? > I ship a correct version of this file. That msvcr80.dll problem was encountered and reported when using the "official" 1.4.4-2 installer, see the "crash on startup" reports by various testers. It does not occur when using the "alternate" installer. >> The installer did *not* install the new ImageMagick, > That means that you don't have a folder in LyX's installation > folder named \etc\ImageMagick, right? Can't look this up at the moment, I would have to re-apply the HD image, install the alternate installer, and then have a look again. Hope it helps, Tom Schlangen -- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Tom Schlangen schrieb: Then installing the v2.11 full installer (which correctly noticed that MikTex was installed) Two problems occured, 1st one: At one of the last steps, a crash occured, complaining about a missing msvcr71.dll: Wow! This file should be present on your system by default. You are the first one since 1.5 years now having not having this file. What Win system are you using? But anyway, I'll include this in the next release. So, both installers seem to have problems related to either a msvcr80.dll or msvcr71.dll, on the same machine. What msvcr80.dll problem do you have with LyXWinInstaller? I ship a correct version of this file. Second problem: The installer did *not* install the new ImageMagick, although it correctly stated (at the beginning of the installation process) that this package will be installed. Maybe this is a follow-up error to the first one, but I don´t know. That means that you don't have a folder in LyX's installation folder named \etc\ImageMagick, right? regards Uwe
