Re: Lyx and Windows 10

You get the privilege of giving money to Microsoft. Also, I think it
prevents that really annoying pop-up saying THIS MIGHT BE UNSAFE RUN RUN
RUN~ OR YOUR COMPUTER WILL CRASH AND DIE HORRIBLY. NEVER TRUST
ANYTHING NOT VERIFIED BY US. Do you wish to install the application anyway?

AFAIK, this is the only benefit. Certification isn't too hard though, but
it costs about $1,000 every 2 years or something for a verisign licence.
This was all about 5 years ago. It might have changed but at work, we
refereed to this as the Microsoft tax.

I don't know about certified, but I installed and it seems to work fine under

I had a Lyx 2.1.3 installation on Windows 8.1. I have now upgraded to
Windows 10 - is Lyx 2.1.3 certified on Windows 10?

Install LyX using the complete version of the AltInstaller and you get everything installed you need 
at once. (Assure that you have an open Internet connection before starting the installation if 
possible.)

I guess they want to keep it installable from CD, like in 2004.
(i.e. not compressed, as protext-1.3).

I think the discussion will be more thorough when the dvd/cd collection
will be out. The TeXLive images are currently test images, and the official
TeXLive is still 2004.

>> The Protext instruction manual, I worry, may be daunting for newcomers.

I never read it, just done this (from the local LyX install instructions):
   6. Install MikTeX
  * Decompress the archive in (e.g.) C:\ProTeXt-1.2. Be patient...
  * Go to C:\ProTeXt-1.2\SETUP and install

A few cons along with the Pros,

"It seems that the current MiKTeX-CD got too big for this year's ProTeXt.
Thomas Feuerstack asked me to free 50 MB. Impossible! I advised Thomas to
create a non-"Live" version of ProTeXt: the CD then contains a snapshot
of the current package repository. This approach has three drawbacks:

you cannot run MiKTeX from CD
the setup process takes longer (cabinet files have to be extracted)
you loose the ability to share MiKTeX in a network environment"

I downloaded all of them but the DVD. The Windows installation of

the Protext install by 50mb so that it would fit on the smaller cd iso

The 1.3 iso is 383mb and the miktex iso is 340mb compressed with bz2.


I guess protext-1.3.iso (a zip file) will be one of the CDs
of the nest TeXLive-2005 distro. Did you get it by download or from
the dvd/cd ?
In that case, I suspect the files/packages to be the same.

I think it is likely that Protext 1.3 is on the TexLive-live 2005 dvd.


[..] record of the protext install


It is possible to download all the Miktex packages to disk and then 
install.
But there is an Miktex iso (if you have a burner) that will serve the 
same

purpose as the ProTeXt iso. But the Protext .exe will be better for some.
One problem is that the package versions are already 4 months old, and
in 6 months will be old with the next TexLive release still 6 months
further.


OK so protext-1.3 does not seem in sync with TexLive-2005.




I think they collected protext 1.3 in July and used it for the TexLive2005 
dvd.

The Texlive 2005 cd installs a windows version, but not the Protext version.


Protext doesn't come with LyX but with TeXnic. LyX still needs Python
so a download or 3 is still needed. Going to the homepage of the needed
helper apps gives the chance for obtaining newer versions which will in 
some

cases have a useful upgrade to the older version residing on the old
cd/.exe.


I doubt though, that the Miktex web setup gives as much as the Miktex 
iso.




The Miktex web setup gave me 317mb in .cab files. The Protext iso had
around 355mb in cab files. The Miktex iso was 696/680mb depending
(I didn't see any cab files on the Miktex iso, I guess they were expanded.)
on what read it. Without running a comparison utility, the main difference
appears to be that ProText came with a trial version of Winedt. There may
be a small difference in the Miktex version used in the Miktex iso and
the Miktex version used in the Protext 1.3 iso/exe version of a couple 
weeks.

Recall that C. Schenk said the Miktex would be used later for Protext 2005
which I read is on the dvd TexLive2005-live not the cd TexLive2005-inst.

Yes, it seems that the Miktex or Protext iso install is more complete
than the web install, although I don't know why he would exclude
some packages from the web download in order put them only on cd.
It is convenient to have everything on the same cd, but in the linux
world they tend to keep them apart due to different lic

You're welcome. I was rather surprised that this worked almost out

quite easy with a browse button to go to: C:\TexLive2005\bin\win32

about pdflatex and space in the pathname informative.

1 - you can't use \ in path names with TeX (guess why ...)

2 - the double quotes you used are removed by the command line
interpreter, so you need to quote again the pathname.

However, the OP said this didn't fix his problem which may have
been related to TeXnic; but the fix involves a "nonstopmode" switch
which is basic to latex *.tex conversion (at least in logs I've viewed).

Please check the LaTeX => PDF Profile. Find the entry for

Probably it reads

Compare with the other profiles. They all should be ok out of the box.


I realize this is a different editor. But it gave me a new appreciation
of the subtleties involved in making LyX interact correctly with Latex.

I am not sure how the installer works. Maybe the TLroot key is
enough = C:\TexLive2005 ? .\texmf and .\bin\win32 are under it.

Also I had Miktex installed before. Though I uninstalled it, there
were references in the registry to it still, and I'm not sure what a
clean registry would have produced for the LyX install reading.

Regards,
Stephen 

P.S. This may be overkill, but I included the content of some 
directories, C:\TeXLive2005, .\texmf, and .\bin\win32

Stephen, can you find out if TeXlive has an entry in the registry so that
the Windows installer can check for its existence?

TeXLive 2005, LyX and Windows xp

[Stephen Harris]

Hi,

I decided to test the newly released (Nov. 2) of TeXlive 2005,
and chose the scheme-full install which took a bit over an hour
on a 2gig cpu and 512mb of memory. No problems. It also
took about 2 hours to download the 700+mb iso file to burn.

Next I installed winlyx 1.3.6 made by Angus. It was necessary
to change from default of Miktex to C:\TexLive2005\bin\win32

The Lyx install went smoothly, but it didn't find gsview32.exe
so I add that to the Path Prefix under Edit-->Preferences. Then
the viewers all worked as did Tex Information. Received a notice
message that the files in the tmp directory were not deleted. Also
tried that ifsym package which was installed by default, which
worked although the windvi viewer uses very large fonts. So 
apparently TexLive works with Lyx under a small investigation. 


Regards,
Stephen

Now I want to choose a Danish spellchecker, but I don't know how or
where to install that language or where to find a distribution to
Windows? Can anyone help?
   

I see here
http://aspell.sourceforge.net/man-html/Supported.html
that Danish is a supported language.
 

Snce there appears to be support for Danish have a look here:
http://wiki.lyx.org/pmwiki.php/LyX/WindowsSetup
Half way down this page is a useful four stage setup of 
Aspell(spellchecking) on the Windows version of Lyx that Uwe Stohr has 
sussed out. It is important you follow all steps here, 1 - 4.

Use ASpell. http://aspell.sourceforge.net/

It is much more sophisticated. Find a Win32 version here:

I am not sure whether this would help.
Go to edit - preferences-converters.
Here you might have to specify the converters for the respective figure
types (jpg, gif) etc. So create a new converter for each of these to
convert it to eps. Here specify the converter as convert $$i $$o.
It worked for me. I think there is an archived mail in the list which
has more details

Hi,

I have installed lyx on windows xp but I have two problems with that:
- If I do not have figures included I can convert to dvi but not to pdf.
What do I have to change?
- If I have figures included I always get an error. I have installed
image magick but obviously wrong. What exactly do I have to do with
that?

Thank you,
Melanie 

RE: lyx and windows

[Eric Desfonds]

There is some issues with using pdflatex, it cannot convert all types of
graphs.

Try running Lyx -dbg graphics you will get some details.

I usually stick to eps files (old habit, since been using LaTex and Lyx long
before we could include jpg, and other formats.

One thing to do, is go to a command prompt and type in convert.exe, you
should see a whole bunch of help text, this is ImageMagick, or if you get
(Must specify a file system), you are running convert.exe from
C:\Winnt\system32 (on my PC, Win2000).  You need to change the path for it
to have the ImageMagick before C:\Winnt\System32.

Get back to us, after trying this
