RE: Lyx 1.5.1 and LyX 1.5.2 Spellchecker Could not be started
Thanks so much for everybody's help on this but I finally managed to get the spellchecker working. For anybody else who may be having problems: The problem is due to having been a LyX user since 2005 and earlier, different version installations had installed stuff EVERYWHERE. In order to have a clean installation I had to uninstall and delete all Aspell and lyX folders -from document and settings folder under ALL THREE categories: all users, administrator and my own. There was a strange little folder titled .lyx that dated 2005 so delete that too. Also clean out the registry. THEN use the windows installer. When you reinstall it should tell you that you have to download and install dictionary files - which indicates you have cleaned out sufficiently.

Hi Paul, Thanks so much for your suggestions. In answer to your questions: Yes, it happens with every document I open in Lyx ie Lyx help documents.

Could you tell me how I can tell Lyx to look in to right path for it's dictionary? Thankyou very much for your time - I really appreciate it! There are actually three questions here: (a) why is LyX looking in the wrong portion of Docs Settings; (b) why is LyX looking in the Data rather than Dictionaries folder; and (c) why is it looking for iso-8859-1.cset at all? Question (a): As far as I know (and my understanding of this is limited), LyX looks for Aspell in the All Users are if LyX itself is installed for all users, and in the me area if LyX is installed for just you. As best I can tell, this is not configurable; I suspect it's hard-coded into the Windows port of LyX. Do you have LyX installed for just yourself (v. for all users)? If so, try uninstalling LyX and installing it for all users (or, if you prefer, uninstall Aspell and install for just yourself). See if that gets rid of the All Users v. me glitch. Question (b): I have no idea on this one. Question (c): Are you using languages other than English and/or encodings other than default? (This may not be a problem if we can resolve the other two issues, but then again it may still be a sticking point.) Cheers, Paul

RE: Lyx 1.5.1 and LyX 1.5.2 Spellchecker Could not be started
Hi again, I cannot figure out why LyX continue to look for "c:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Aspell\Data/iso-8859-1.cset" for spellchecking. I have installed LyX for all users both 1.5.1 and 1.5.2 - using the installers. Before re installing, I had uninstalled all Aspell files (from all users and from my own application data), clean out the registry for old LyX 1.4 keys and the message just keeps on poping back up. Is there any other place that the path Aspell\Data (which is incorrect like you pointed out) is hiding out? Is this a bug in the installation packages - I never had a problem with 1.4?
