Re: Unable to install MikTex with Lyx 2.0
Just discovered that reconfiguration LyX suddenly didn't work because of permission denied. Reconfigured as admin, tried to output the PDF and got this.

Re: Unable to install MikTex with Lyx 2.0
I guess I am experiencing some of this problems because I work on a network station. Even though I have administrator rights, I just can not get this to work. If the LyX installer just could have downloaded MikTex like it did before I think it would have worked, since 1.6 worked flawlessly on the same (school) network. 2011/9/13 Brian Linfoot > On 13/09/2011 15:44, Christian Wilhelmsen wrote: > >> Tried to compile, and get this output from messages: >> >> 16:42:41.737: Previewing ... >> >> 16:42:41.743: (buffer-view: Ctrl+R) >> >> 16:42:41.798: pdflatex "file.tex" >> >> 16:42:41.868: This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.11 (MiKTeX 2.9) >> >> 16:42:42.829: (Fatal format file error; I'm stymied) >> >> D:\LyXSVN\LyX2.0.x\src\**support\Systemcall.cpp(259): Systemcall: >> 'pdflatex "file.tex"' finished with exit code 1 >> >> Error: Cannot view file >> >> --**-- >> >> File does not exist: C:/Users/chriswil.AD/AppData/** >> Local/Temp/lyx_tmpdir.Hp4684/**lyx_tmpbuf2/file.pdf >> >> 16:42:47.585: Error while previewing format: pdf2 >> >> >> >> I seem to remember having seen this before with LyX 2.0.0 > > I suspect your LyX installation possibly has screwed up it's temp > directory path, > Do you have an old lyx version on your system?

(You might want to search the list archive on GMANE to see replies to that message.) Try the following: * In the Start menu, run the MiKTeX settings application. I'm not on a Win box right now, so I'm working from memory. I think there are two versions (one for administrators, one not). If so, run the admin version just to be safe. * In the first tab, there should be two buttons near the top, labeled something like "Update Formats" and "Refresh FNDB". Do them in that order. I'm not sure you need the second one, but it can't hurt. * Reconfigure and restart LyX and see if things work. * If things still don't work, run "pdflatex file.tex" against your test doc and see if it spits up any meaningful errors (i.e., more meaningful than the one above). BTW, I've used MiKTeX (with LyX) for years on Windows, and have not had a problem with spaces in file paths. Most of my LyX docs reside under "My Documents". Paul

Re: Unable to install MikTex with Lyx 2.0
How can I generate a log-file?
This is an exported LaTeX-file from LyX (if you need it)
%% LyX 2.0.1 created this file. For more info, see http://www.lyx.org/.

Re: Unable to install MikTex with Lyx 2.0
Yes, I have tried to reconfigure, install miktex directly under C:, tried installing the bundle packages but none of them works. The bundle package allows me to press the output button, but it says that I have space characters in path and is therefore not able to generate pdf. I have to start writing my thesis yesterday so this is really frustrating. Thanks for all your help!

Unable to install MikTex with Lyx 2.0
Hi! I am using Windows 7, and wanted to download and install Lyx 2.0. The problem is that MikTex won't automatically install with the Lyx installer, because of a 404 error. I then downloaded and installed MikTex manually, but I do not know how to tell Lyx how to use it. Any suggestions on the matter? - Christian
