What is the value of \path_prefix in your LyX preferences file?

Well... I think I wasn't clear. Sorry.
All this information I get *inside* "convertDefault.py".
To get this info, first I changed it to show me the contents of PATH
variable ( os.environ['PATH'] ).
Then, *inside* conventDefault.py, the content of the PATH variable is
what I said.
For some reason I don't understand, LyX insert system32 folder
reference before its own in PATH.
I have no control over this behavior.
To be clear, the result of the command "print os.environ['PATH']",
running inside convertDefault.py is the following:
C:\Users\Diego\AppData\Local\Temp\lyx_tmpdir.Hp3684

Does someone know why "c:\Windows\System32" is included in the
path?
That's standard on Windows systems AFAIK. I'm looking at the path
on my Win XP machine right now, and it has C:\WINDOWS\System32,
C:\WINDOWS and C:\WINDOWS\System32\wbem on the System portion of
the path (the portion common to all users). All you need to do is
move the IM bin directory ahead of the WINDOWS stuff on the path.
Unfortunately, Microsoft being Microsoft, the system portion of
the path precedes, rather than follows, the user portion of the
path when the two are glued together into the PATH environment
variable. If you installed IM for yourself only, rather than for
"all users", that would cause IM to go on the user path, and come
after the C:\WINDOWS stuff on the path string. You can just edit
the two path strings and move IM to the system portion, near the
front.
FYI, there is a freeware program called "Path Editor" (from
RedfernPlace) that makes editing paths easy on Windows.
