Can't read dvi with a portable installation

2012-10-07 Thread Denis J Navas

I am using LyX 2.0.4 in a portable installation (portable LyX).

When I try to visualize dvi, I get the following error:

C:\USB16\PortableApps\Portableoyx2\Common\Temp\lyx_tmpdir.gq2928\lyx_tmpbuf2\Letterpaper.dvi

Letterpaper.dvi isn't the file name of the document I am reading.

In preferences -- file formats, I have given the path to yap.exe without 
success.


Someone has some ideas of what I can do?

PDF works fine.

Thanks,

Denis J Navas

portable installation

2009-05-06 Thread Sophie (itsme213)
I'm looking at the instructions at 
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/PortableInstallation

I have put USBTeX on my memory stick, and copied C:\Program Files\Lyx16 to 
that stick. But the installation instructions say to copy some tl-portable 
files from the TexLive DVD, which I have not used.

If anyone has got this combination working (USBTeX with Lyx16), could you 
please share what you did? I will update the wiki after I get it to work 
myself.

Thanks!

I just tried it myself and failed. It seems to be an issue with USBTex, 
because even the suggested way to create and compile a simple tex-file 
fails. If I were you, I would try to find out the email-adress of Sam 
Lewis, who wrote the USBTex-part of the wiki-entry.


Good luck,

Florian
