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

I hope that this bug is not too difficult to resolve.
Hi, Ekkehart.
Could you try out the executable found at
http://www.lyx.org/~leeming/ekkehart.exe
It was compiled from the source below and here it exits with
Exception caught:
boost::filesystem::is_directory: "J:\foo": The system cannot
find the file specified.
Assertion failed: false, file ekkehart.cpp, line 31
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it
in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support
team for more information.
What happens when you run it? Especially when you don't have anything
mapped to your virtual drive.
The second step is to change
if (fs::is_directory(path))
to
if (fs::exists(path) && fs::is_directory(path))
Here, the program runs silently (no output, no error). What happens to you?
The executable in this case is to be found at
http://www.lyx.org/~leeming/ekkehart2.exe
Regards,
Angus
