Concerning Drive J:
Just to reconfirm what I wrote, this time from the computer where the
problem originally arose. I installed Lyxwin 1.4.1.svn right now from
the Link in the Wiki LyxWin 1.4.x page. No problem this time with
installing in C:\Program Files\Lyx1.4.
I have a card reader attached that has drive letters I:, J:, and K:
assigned to it (for various types of cards). J: is assigned to a smart
card slot which I don't use.
The problem described disappears if I do one of the following:
1. Reassign another letter to the smart cars slot (such that J: is not
assigtned to any drive
2. Reassign J: to a used slot (in my case the compact flash slot) and
inserting a card.
3. Remove the card reader.
Conclusion: You should have either no drive assigned to J: or a drive
with an inserted medium.
Seems to be the same problem as Stacia Hartleben's, as Paul mentions it.
Angus noted that this was not a problem in 1.3.7. Maybe this is only
partially true, because 1.3.7 used to issue two or three warnings about
missing drives while starting on this damned computer which I canceled
to get on with my work, but always wanted to check and report. Maybe it
is a related issue.
I hope that these observations help to solve the problem. I opt for
solution 1. at the moment and can now look forward to trying the new Lyx
1.4.1 (as time permits).
I hope that this bug is not too difficult to resolve.
