Joost Hi Joost, Yes, adding the line C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin; to the path did indeed make a difference. Just so I better understand how LyX/MikTeX work, why was LyX using 2.7 even though I have 2.9 referenced on the Windows path? Why do I need to add it to the LyX path? LyX must be remembering the old path locations so where is this setting being stored and why can't I just update that settings file? Thanks, Ken

Some parts of LyX configuration is being build upon installation and initial configuration procedure. Then these informations are used on every LyX reconfiguration. There is no feature to automatically look for new version of MikTeX and that is good for couple of reasons. Mainly you can safely have two or more MikTeX versions installed and switch them to test how LyX plays with them. The only thing you need to remember is to put correct path to the MikTeX version you for in LyX preferences window when you want cooperate with new version. I am fine with that. -- Manveru jabber: manv...@manveru.pl gg: 1624001 http://www.manveru.pl

MikTeX 2.9 w/ LyX 1.6.8
I recently installed MikTeX 2.9 (with the previous version 2.7 still installed) and updated to LyX from 1.6.8. I updated the Windows PATH to use MikTeX 2.9 and there is no reference to MikTeX in the LyX path. I then rebooted the machine. However, every time I generate a pdf it appears to still be using the old 2.7 installation -- as shown in Document LaTeX Log. How can I force LyX to use the new 2.9 installation? Thanks, Ken
