 It seems that adding \RequirePackage{color} is a workaround for the time

FYI a new version has been uploaded to CTAN. It should be part of the TeXLive

Confirmed here, on both 1.6.2 and 1.6.3svn. Everything was fine before 
updating the rotating-package by MiKTeX's update wizard, afterwards it 
produces the error described above.

rotating package and float sideways tables

[Piero Faustini]

I just run my MikTex monthly updating and I found out that since it updated the 
rotating package, I can't no more compile documents with a sideways floating 
table (didn't check with different sideways floating objects). And since I 
dont' know how to downgrade the package (well, I don't know where to find the 
old package files), I put this warning here, maybe someone can help me.

rotating package and float sideways tables

[Piero Faustini]

I just run my MikTex monthly updating and I found out that since it updated the 
"rotating" package, I can't no more compile documents with a sideways floating 
table (didn't check with different sideways floating objects). And since I 
dont' know how to downgrade the package (well, I don't know where to find the 
old package files), I put this warning here, maybe someone can help me.
Thanks
Piero

I just run update MiKTeX's update and can still successfully compile the EmbeddedObjects manual. Can 
you just run MiKTeX's update again on your machine and the restart LyX?

If this doesn't help, can you please send me an example LyX file?

Afterwards you can replace the rotating.sty file with the attached old one.
