Re: LyXWinInstaller 1.5.2 error, Removing old version
For the record, I left the User Preferences intact (unchecked that option in the uninstaller), and the installation of 1.5.2 by the small LyXWinInstaller went wonderfully. Back up and running...

I used Uwe's LyXWinInstaller Update to upgrade to 1.5.2 on WinXP, but encountered the advertised problem with ImageMagick. Uwe indicated (to the list as well, I believe) that all we need to do is uninstall LyX 1.5.1 and then use his small installer for 1.5.2 to get ImageMagick back and working properly. When I run the uninstall program I get a window that asks whether I want to remove the LyX User Preferences as well (the LyX program is grayed out b/c you can't opt not to uninstall that, obviously). Does anyone know whether I need to remove the User Preferences in order for the 1.5.2 install to work properly (i.e., fix ImageMagick)? I don't really know what's included in the Preferences, but I made some changes to defaults and would prefer not to lose that if I don't have to. Thanks, Dave Hewitt Nothing in the user directory relates to the broken IM path in the registry, so you should be able to leave the user preferences intact and just uninstall the program. It's certainly worth trying that first. You can always uninstall again (nuking the preferences) if it comes to that. /Paul
