Hi, I have upgraded MiKTeX relatively recently – I don’t want to upgrade again if I don’t have to upgrade – so please could you update your webpage which says:
(start quote) Due to a bug in MiKTeX, installation of LyX 2.3.0 can sometimes cause the MiKTeX installation to be corrupted. (See https://github.com/MiKTeX/miktex/issues/82.) If you run into problems, the solution will be to uninstall MiKTeX and then re-install. We highly recommend that MiKTeX users update to the latest version before installing LyX 2.3.0. If you have any questions about how to update MiKTeX, you can email lyx-users@lists.lyx.org for help. (You do not need to be subscribed to the mailing list to do so, but you may wish to do that anyway. See this page for information on subscribing.) (end quote) This information does not mention specific versions – just says “latest version of MiKTeX”. My MiKTeX console window tells me it is version 2.9.6751. I am actually using another TeX editor which works fine for me but I want to collaborate with a colleague and I heard that LyX might be an easier editor for him to use on shared documents. Before doing that I want to check that LyX is something I can recommend to him. However seeing this message on your website has made me reluctant to try out LyX in case my MiKTeX installation gets corrupted. Regards, Peter Sent from Mail for Windows 10
