Re: Building a Lyx live CD for Windows

LyX (and supporting software) does not originate on windows, so I'd expect the windows ports to not need to mess with the registry anyway. running from a CD would at very least require a changed PATH setting so the various binaries will be found. That can be done from the command line (or a .bat file), without touching the registry. Helge Hafting

Re: Building a Lyx live CD for Windows
Hello Renaud, So I am thinking of a CD or a USB mass storage medium which would provide a ready-to-use Lyx (with the required third party software). there is a portable lyx on portableapps: http://portableapps.com/node/9880 I tried it on usb-stick, but it worked only on my computer, where lyx is installed on hard-disc. I didn't get it working on a computer without installed lyx. there seems to be a problem. perhaps you are more lucky.
