Seems to be a problem of the MiKTeX repositories: LyX's first run of
configure.py runs through
without installing any LaTeX-package. That's why I couldn't see in this case no
feedback from the
installer. I'll investigate further.
Yes I noticed this too now when doing a fresh installation on XP 64-bit.
Let me know if you can find out what's going on with MiKTeX here.
OK, there was indeed a problem with my MiKTeX installation residues in the registry. now the
installation runs through as expected, but there are thing we should improve:
a. When LyX is installed together with MiKTeX we need to set an installation location and hide
MiKTeX's window that asks for every LaTeX-package. New users don't understand what a LaTeX-package
is - they will learn it in the LyX tutorial but thus after the installation. I therefore set in my
installer MiKTeX without showing the asking windows and just start installing the packages. (Once
the MiKTeX developer especially built in the feature for LyX.)
b. the installer has a button "Details", but this button should be pressed by default when MiKTeX is
installed together with LyX. This only affects new users and they might not expect that the
installation process can take many minutes. I therefore also state this in my installer because I
once got several complaints.
So for now the ToDo-list for the merged installer is:
1. check if Inkscape is already installed and use it for SVG images (I can no
longer
provide/maintain support for checking for Adobe Illustrator)
2. implement to ask to update MiKTeX at the end of installation process
3. option in the uninstaller not to uninstall the metafile2eps printer
4. include JabRef to the bundle installer version (there will be an option not
to install it as in
my installer)
5. option to start LyX after installing it (which will be unchecked by default)
6. sanitize the hunspell dictionaries installation (to be discussed further how
to do this)
7. ask on the users list for the GUI language setting issue
So not much to do for now. Joost, can I start to implement point 1 and 2?
Yes please go ahead!
OK.
