nice...

i guess this solves an issue with the old installer not being able to 
create the config files in the %appdata% folder? (at least i thought 
that's where the problem was)



with the normal installers (230 and 2351) LyX would just always crash on 
startup, using the beta now finally let's me run the program...

Yeah this happens on any software which is not known to Windows (from what
the web says
).
Programs, which not many users use (however Microsoft gets that data) are
considered insecure, this prompt will stop showing up eventually when
enough users run the installer. It will also not appear when you want to
run it a second time after you clicked on "run anyway" on previous
execution. FYI I just downloaded the official installer and got this prompt
when trying to run it for the first time.

> Also, when starting the installer, it complained that LyX was already
open, even though it was just a development version. I suppose that this
check should be performed much later, i.e. just when actually starting the
installation: is the LyX version installed in that folder already started?

Ok, your feedback has reached me, I will see what I can do there.

Does this also happen with the 'official' LyX installer? If not, I
wonder why not?

New Windows Installers for Testing

[Richard Kimberly Heck]

One of our new contributors, Eugene, has re-written the Windows
installer and also produced a 64-bit binary. His installers can be found
here:

http://ftp.lyx.org/ftp/pub/lyx/devel/lyx-2.3/

While we expect this become the official LyX installer, please note
that, at the moment, these should be considered beta (as marked).

Bugs can be reported either to lyx-de...@lists.lyx.org or via the bug
tracker (https://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome).
