Hello,

And thanks for the continuing help, Paul.

 Are there classes that you know you have installed in MiKTeX but do not 
 appear on the list in 1.6.10? It seems to be finding the classes you would 
 get with a minimal installation of MiKTeX. 

Yes. For example, koma-script ist installed and non of its classes not appear 
in the list.

 Also, did you try reconfiguring 1.6.10 after you deleted the local user 
 directory?

Yes, but it did not help.

 I can't remember: have we looked at your configuration log for 2.0.0?

I have posted it on the 22nd of June, a recent version is attached.

There are some DEBUG: Failed to remove file lines in the file.  As far as I 
can see, at least some of the files it tries to delete are in the program 
folder, to which the limited rights user does not have write access. Could that 
be source of problems?

Regards

Matthias

 This looks suspiciously like William's configure.log.

The difference between William's situation and mine is that the classes appear 
to be unavailable in my setup, but I can create PDFs. As far as I understand 
it, William cannot convert at all. So I am much better of than him right now. 
Actually, I can live with the situation for the time being, it just means 
clicking away those warnings every time I open a document.

I'm not sure.  The bigger concern is the warning that your LaTeX 
installation is not LaTeX2e (which is nonsense).  We can try an 
experiment to see if failed writes to the program directory might be the 
problem.


Log in as the limited rights user and open a command prompt in the LyX 
2.0 user directory (C:\Documents and Settings\limited user 
id\Application Data\lyx20, if memory serves).  From that prompt, run


C:\Program Files\lyx20\Python\python.exe C:\Program 
FIles\LyX2.0\Resources\configure.py


which should do the same thing that Tools  Reconfigure does, but with 
file writes occurring in the local user directory (where the limited 
user has full permissions).  Does that fix any problems with 2.0?  (If 
so, you can do the same trick with 1.6.)

That was good hint, thanks a lot.

The command line in my case was:
Z:\ntdata\Anwendungsdaten\LyX2.0 C:\Program Files\lyx2.0\Python\python.exe 
C:\Program Files\LyX2.0\Resources\configure.py

It took a lot longer (something like 10 minutes) than the normal reconfigure 
does, but now I have my classes in the menu.

For LyX 1.6.10 it was much faster (seconds only) and also solved the problem:
Z:\ntdata\Anwendungsdaten\lyx16C:\Program Files\lyx2.0\Python\python.exe 
C:\Program Files\LyX 1.6.10\Resources\configure.py

Let me add that z:, where my user files are, is a mapped network drive.

So everything is fine now. Maybe writing to the user directory should become 
standard for the first configuration and Tools  Reconfigure?

We've had misadventures with network drives and roaming profiles under 
Windows before.  I'm not sure what causes the problems or whether the 
developers have found a fix.  Without knowing what the network drive 
issue is, it's not clear whether writing the initial configuration to 
the user directory is necessary, and I'm not sure what the general 
implications would be.  (Note that, on Windows XP, if you install LyX 
for all users then the configuration would be written to C:\Documents 
and Settings\All Users\..., not to any one user's directory.


At any rate, I'm glad you've got them working.

Cheers,
Paul

Hello,

I must correct myself:

 One thing you might try is to delete the local LyX directory for the limited 
 rights user, then restart LyX (as the limited rights user) and let it try to 
 rebuild that directory.  I think the directory is usually stored at 
 C:\Documents and Settings\limited rights user id\Application Data\lyx.  
 (Unfortunately I don't have access to a Win XP machine anymore.)  Just 
 delete the entire directory.  I you have modified any bind or layout files, 
 you might want to back those up first, but if this is an out-of-the-box LyX 
 installation there is nothing there you need to worry about.

I tried that (directories are actually called LyX2.0 and lyx16). It worked for 
1.6.10 - thanks for the help - but for 2.0.0 the problem persists. So it 
probably is related to some change from 1.6 to 2.0.

 When you successfully run latex at a command prompt, you are doing so with 
 the limited rights account, correct?

Yes.

 Am I correct in assuming that if you log in with the local admin account, LyX 
 works correctly for you?

Yes.

 One thing you might try is to delete the local LyX directory for the limited 
 rights user, then restart LyX (as the limited rights user) and let it try to 
 rebuild that directory.  I think the directory is usually stored at 
 C:\Documents and Settings\limited rights user id\Application Data\lyx.  
 (Unfortunately I don't have access to a Win XP machine anymore.)  Just delete 
 the entire directory.  I you have modified any bind or layout files, you 
 might want to back those up first, but if this is an out-of-the-box LyX 
 installation there is nothing there you need to worry about.

I tried that (directories are actually called LyX2.0 and lyx16). It worked for 
1.6.10 - thanks for the help - but for 2.0.0 the problem persists. So it 
probably is related to some change from 1.6 to 2.0.

Hi,

I installed from this file, linked on the LyX front page:
ftp://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/lyx/bin/2.0.0/LyX-2.0.0-3-Installer.exe

I thought this was 2.0.0 stable with some bugs fixed, not RC3. Is that not 
correct?

RE: no classes available after installation of 1.6.10 and 2.0.0-3

Hi,

I should add the MikTeX itself is working fine, I can generate PDFs from tex 
files without problem. As I just found out, it seems that PDFs generated from 
LyX are also fine and respect the chosen class. So the only problem seems to be 
that LyX thinks that the classes are not installed even though they actually 
are.

Well, we have this:

WARNING: Latex not usable (not LaTeX2e)

So for some reason LyX is not able to run LaTeX as this user. Or,
possibly, it is unable to save the temporary file chklatex.ltx to (I
think) the user's local LyX directory. We find out if LaTeX is usable by
trying to run a very simple script.

Is there some permissions issue here, possibly?

The chklatex.ltx file is being created because you can see it being 
deleted in the configure.log file, without an error message. However, 
the chklatex.log file is not created and fails to be deleted.


I'm out of ideas at the moment.

 WARNING: Latex not usable (not LaTeX2e)
 

It's been a while since it's come up, but I believe that I've seen this error
message on Windows machines with Cygwin installed.  Cygwin ships with a
latex.exe program that (at least in the past) gave LyX fits.  Moving the Cygwin
bin directory after the MiKTeX bin directory cured the problem.

Matthias, is one of the MiKTeX bin directories the first directory encountered
on your system path that contains a latex.exe file?

Dear Matthias, AFAIK, 2.0RC3 installer for Windows has a problem that
renders your MikTeX installation useless. This happened to me and I had to
reinstall it again. Why didn't you install the stable version?

It's different than RC3. It's the third version of the installer for 
2.0.0 final. Some bugs have been fixed in the installer itself.

RE: no classes available after installation of 1.6.10 and 2.0.0-3

Hi,

I should add the MikTeX itself is working fine, I can generate PDFs from tex 
files without problem. As I just found out, it seems that PDFs generated from 
LyX are also fine and respect the chosen class. So the only problem seems to be 
that LyX thinks that the classes are not installed even though they actually 
are.

Well, we have this:

WARNING: Latex not usable (not LaTeX2e)

So for some reason LyX is not able to run LaTeX as this user. Or,
possibly, it is unable to save the temporary file chklatex.ltx to (I
think) the user's local LyX directory. We find out if LaTeX is usable by
trying to run a very simple script.

Is there some permissions issue here, possibly?

I think Matthias had mentioned before that LaTeX worked fine when run

The chklatex.ltx file is being created because you can see it being 
deleted in the configure.log file, without an error message. However, 
the chklatex.log file is not created and fails to be deleted.


I'm out of ideas at the moment.

Dear Matthias, AFAIK, 2.0RC3 installer for Windows has a problem that renders 
your MikTeX installation useless. This happened to me and I had to reinstall it 
again. Why didn't you install the stable version?

Did you also try Tools>Reconfigure?

It's different than RC3. It's the third version of the installer for 
2.0.0 final. Some bugs have been fixed in the installer itself.

RE: no classes available after installation of 1.6.10 and 2.0.0-3

Hi,

I should add the MikTeX itself is working fine, I can generate PDFs from tex 
files without problem. As I just found out, it seems that PDFs generated from 
LyX are also fine and respect the chosen class. So the only problem seems to be 
that LyX thinks that the classes are not installed even though they actually 
are.

Maybe you have two versions of MikTeX? Or LyX is configured to believe so?

Can you post the configure.log file generated in your user directory?
Also, the textclass.lst file. Please check that these have the right
sort of time stamp, i.e., that they actually do get regenerated when you
run Tools>Reconfigure.

Well, we have this:

WARNING: Latex not usable (not LaTeX2e)

So for some reason LyX is not able to run LaTeX as this user. Or,
possibly, it is unable to save the temporary file chklatex.ltx to (I
think) the user's local LyX directory. We find out if LaTeX is usable by
trying to run a very simple script.

Is there some permissions issue here, possibly?

Richard

I think Matthias had mentioned before that LaTeX worked fine when run
from the command line. That's why I think maybe we're failing to write
the test file in the first place.
