If the problem is intended to occur when starting LyX for the first time after installation, it can be solved quite easily. In 1.4.x the console is hidden only if the title of the cmd window is "LyX", so the installer could start LyX for the first time using start "Welcome to LyX" "C:\Program files\LyX14\bin\lyx.exe" such that the console window is not hidden and all output can be seen (in 1.5.x it suffices calling lyxc.exe which never hides the console). If it is intended to occur every time LyX is started, I don't understand altogether as it has always been like that. If the problem is that once it was possible to launch the configure script from a terminal in the libdir and now this is not possible anymore, then it suffices starting LyX from a terminal and then reconfigure from the GUI. So, what is the problem? -- Enrico
