I tried the official installer but I got the same problems and more. It will not launch the Acrobat program to show the pdf file when I selection View-PDF (PDFLATEX). If I open the file manually, the update will fail because LyX cannot write to the file that is open. No, I am not using Vista 64bit. It is a 32bit version. Thanks.

Re: LyX on Windows Vista
It seems there's a problem in the path to the default PDF viewer. If I added the full path to Acrobat Reader in the file format configuration as follows: c:\PROGRA~1\Adobe\READER~1.0\Reader\acrord32.exe after rendering the PDF, the reader is run but gets hung with about 49% of the processor used. Then if I add quotation marks to the path like: c:\PROGRA~1\Adobe\READER~1.0\Reader\acrord32.exe it works just fine, but when I close and reload LyX, the path is moved to the editor field (instead of the viewer field), check marks for the document format and the vectorial graphic format are cleared and both quotation marks are put at the end of the path, rendering the document format unusable (and, of course, it doesn't get shown in the View menu): c:\PROGRA~1\Adobe\READER~1.0\Reader\acrord32.exe So, can it be a LyX related problem, more than an installer related one?

Re: LyX on Windows Vista
I tried both installer and updated the Acrobat. With the official installer, problem #1 is fixed. I still have problem with #2. LyX error: I cannot write on file xxx.pdf.

problems installing lyx on windows vista
Hello, I just tried to install lyx on my windows vista. The first problem was to install miketex out of the bundle-installer of lyx 1.4.3-5 (lyx-143-5-bundle.exe ) - an Windows API error occurs. a workaround for this problem was to install miktex 2.5 stand alone and refer to the existing installation while installing lyx. But the second problem ist, that I can not start lyx. It seems to be there is no python available. But I thought this application comes with lyx? Are there any howtos out there how to install lyx on Windows Vista? many thanks - Tino -- Gäbe es kein Wasser auf der Welt, könnten die Menschen nicht schwimmen lernen und müssten alle ertrinken...
