Regarding Add/Remove Programs, you are right, it can be done from there, however when there is an uninstaller in a program, I do prefer to use it. To go a bit further (pse don't sigh): In fact there is so many "aside" programs with LyX that I am always afraid to miss one and for that reason, till today, each time I have fully update (reinstalling everything). But, if I follow you properly, when you have got one installation, let us say 1.4.1, you just need to install 1.4.3 and keep former Miktex, ImageMagick, Ghostscript, Aspell ( I am not sure ) and GSView or to update them directly. As such I should have just to download LyX 1.4.3. Am I correct ? Thanks Paul
Re: [ANNOUNCE] LyX 1.4.3 is relelased
Terrrifc! Thanks to all the developers. Easy access on windows will be huge. Anybody report success installing over a 1.4.2 system on Windows? Any known issues? I assume you should back up your Documents and Setting/userid/Application Data/LyX1.4.x directory, just to make sure... Ed

Shall I understand that I can upgrade from a - complete installation having used the windows installer from 1.4.1 to 1.4.2 using the corresponding patch and then from 1.4.2 to 1.4.3 using the patch below and being totally up to date for all soft's included in the complete version installer ? or is it better to uninstall and reinstall ? Thanks for your kind answer best regards Paul
