Last week we discussed how to include the menu language setting to lyxrc. I think this would be an improvement because then we could get rid of the lyx.bat file that is currently used to start LyX on Windows.
lyx.bat calls lyx.exe, sets temporarily the language environment variable and the environment variable for Aiksaurus. Now I implemented in the installer that Aiksaurus is registered as standalone program. The installer sets the needed environment variable. This has unfortunately the disadvantage that invoking the thesaurus, when LyX is started the first time directly after the installation, it crashes. This crash occurs because the Aiksaurus data couldn't be found. This is because the environment variable was set via the registry and Windows always needs some time to accept this change. Has anybody of the Windows people an idea? (Enrico?) besides this problem, lyx.bat is now only: @echo off SET LANG=de_DE start "LyX" "lyx.exe" %* So Abdel, if you could apply your patch to set the language in lyxrc, lyx.bat can go. regards Uwe Btw., I uploaded my installer source code to SVN under \development\Win32\packaging\LyXWinInstaller
