I'll provide a new installer this evening. 1.6svn does not seem to be able to read 1.5.x documents, says that they are from a different version of LyX but lyx2lyx can't convert them. Could you please report this at bugzilla.lyx.org? Please attach a SMALL LyX 1.5 file to the bug report to be able to reproduce the problem. thanks for testing and best regards Uwe

And does it work when you only copy the DLL and not the manifest file? This is important for me to know. regards Uwe No, it works only when both files are copied. Not with the DLL alone. - Juha p.s. 1.6svn does not seem to be able to read 1.5.x documents, says that they are from a different version of LyX but lyx2lyx can't convert them.

Re: Problems installing LyX - better method
Uwe Stöhr wrote: Juha, as you have LyX 1.6svn installed. You could easily test if it works when simply copying the attached file "msvcp80.dll" to the folder of LyX 1.6svn's lyx.exe. This way, you can keep LyX 1.5 untouched and help me finding the problem. If this doesn't help, als copy the file I attached to my previous mail to the lyx.exe folder and test if it works. thanks and regards Uwe I tested as requested, and 1.60svn started OK when both the .dll and manifest files were copied into LyX binary directory. Thank you for the solution :-) - Juha
