[announce] LyXWinInstaller for Windows 7
Hello LyXers, a new version of the alternative Windows installer for LyX is available. This version comes with MiKTeX 2.8 and the latest Python and ImageMagick to be able to install LyX under Windows 7. Moreover this version brings a new feature: It includes eLyXer, a LyX to HTML converter. After the installation of LyX you should be able to view and export your documents as HTML. If there are problems with the HTML export, please report them to elyxer-usersnongnu.org. Note: It is not necessary to touch your existing LyX installation! This version was primarily released to support Windows 7 and to test eLyXer. The included LyX 1.6.4 is exactly the same as included in the previous installer version. Therefore only use this version when you do a fresh LyX installation and when you want to test the new features. - The installer for this version can be downloaded from: http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5117&release_id=16904 and soon also from http://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.6.4/ (General infos about the installer can be found here: http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller ) Installer Changelog: - Version 4.21 - new converter to export LyX files as HTML: eLyXer 0.35 (http://www.nongnu.org/elyxer) - updated to MiKTeX 2.8 (needed to run LyX under Windows 7) - updated to ImageMagick 6.5.7-5 - updated to Python 2.6.4 - downgraded to Ghostscript 8.64 due to a regression bug with cropped PDF images - fix bug that an installed Python 3.x was ignored - happy LyXing Uwe
LyXWinInstaller for Windows 7
Hi Uwe, last night I installed LyX+MikTex under Windows 7 (Enterprise Edition) using your "Altinstaller Complete" (i.e. LyX 1.6.3 plus MikTex) and to my great delight * Everything went without a problem.* Just, towards the end, when LyX starts "checking for installed packages" - one ought to suggest to users to go out for dinner and not panic when Lyx is not done after dessert ;-) Thanks for a great installer, Greetings, H.Peter Uwe Stöhr wrote: Hello LyXers, the alternative Windows installer for LyX 1.6.3 is now available.
