Note that it is possible in windows to change the version-suffix code
to let the binary names along (without -1.4.0). I did that for Mac
already.
------------Angus commented:"to let the binary names along" means "to leave
the binary names alone"? Sure, that would be a good idea.I'd really like
people to be able to use LyX 1.3.x alongside LyX 1.4.x.Should I hold off
building the binary until you do that or should I just
use --with-version-suffix now (with the 1.4.0
tarball)?Angus------------------------------------------------SH: Maybe this
already works. I installed Lyx1.3.7 to C:\LyX137 whichcreates a LyX
directory up in Application data. This LyX foldercan be renamed to LyX137.
Enrico pointed out the following to me:C:\lyx137\bin\lyx.bat -userdir
"C:\Documents and Settings\Stephen\Application Data\LyX137"That goes into
your LyX shortcut on the Desktop, all on one linein the Target window that
contains your lyx.bat command path.This will automatically generate
\Application Data\LyX137 if youhaven't already created it. Next install
LyX1.4.0 to C:\LyX140 for instance I have,C:\lyx140\bin\lyx.bat -userdir
"C:\Documents and Settings\Stephen\Application Data\LyX140"All in one line
for the LyX140 desktop shortcut. It will automatically create the
\Application Data\Lyx140 folder.I tested this with your Lyx140pre win binary
with 137v3 and withLyx137v2. They all work together. Enrico showed me how to
usea win binary with all Cygwin apps. I have a Cygwin lyx-x11 anda Cyg
lyx-winbin which use preferences located in a defined Homethat is not the
same as the /Application data/Lyx which is whatthe win binary using cyg apps
does use. That is why I manuallyrename it to LyXcyg before installing the
windows 137/140 binaries since it isn't started from a Windows
shortcut->Target.All this works together and does spellchecking.So a short
summary. If a user already has Lyx (137) installed,he should rename his
\UserName\Application Data\LyX toC:\Documents and
Settings\UserName\Application Data\LyX137and add to the Desktop shortcut
Target window:-userdir "C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application
Data\LyX137"I don't think it matters that lyx.bat might be in Program
files.Lyx1.4.0 should be installed to C:\LyX140The \Application data\Lyx
should be renamed to LyX140or you can automatically generate it but the /App
data/LyX is unused.Add the following line to the LyX140 Desktop shortcut
Target window.-userdir "C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application
Data\LyX140"This will generate an /Application data/LyX140 if it doesn't
exist.They will share the spellchecking setup you've already
established.Perhaps what I have mentioned is not what you really mean. In
myControl Panel->Add/Remove programs, there isn't a separate entryfor each
version of LyX installed. I'm not sure what that meansif you uninstall that
one version listed. Is this what you questionpertains to? So far, this
hasn't created a problem for me.Enrico figured out this convenient
method,Stephen
