Hello LyXers,

again an update to the installer:

In other words, I think that the installer should lead the user through the installation. It shouldn't "just do it" for him. That's why I think a summary page at the beginning listing everything that LyX has found (or not found) that it can use would be a good thing.

It is implemented now. Please have a look if you could agree with this solution.

But there are more improvements:

- The installer comes now with the actual documentation files
 (Argh, I just see that I shipped the wrong files for LateXConfig.lyx)
- The installer searches now for Acrobat and add its path to
  lyxrc.default so that LyX can find it while configuring.
- Now also LyX's configuration files are deleted while uninstalling LyX.
  The files are under
  C:\Documents and Settings\name of current user\Application Data\

Remaining issues:

- I need the registry path for Acroread. If anybody has installed it, please send it to me.
- I need the registry path for fpTeX.

- If Acrobat/Acrored if found by LyX's configure script the following
  entry is made to lyxrc.defaults:

\viewer pdf "acrobat"

But we need also the entries

\viewer pdf2 "acrobat"
\viewer pdf3 "acrobat"

Simple fix attached, please apply.

regards Uwe
