This is part of the reason why we switch from configure.m4 to configure.py, and I have a FIXME label in checkProg() to check registry rather than PATH under windows. With the win32 package of python, registry checking is easy. As long as we agree upon what to do, I can implement it in configure.py soon. Question: Do we need to set the following in lyxrc.default during configure.py under windows? \pdf_viewer 'c:\program files\acrobat\reader\7.0\bin\acroread32.exe' \gs_viewer 'c:\whatever' Bo
