Hi, I apologize for the delay in answering.
Yes, I try to start the program from instance
DOS, but nothing happens.
So, I reinstalled Lyx 2.3.1 in a new folder
(called Lyx2.311).
Thus, I have the two versions installed in
different folders
C:\Program Files (x86)\LyX 2.3 and
C:\Program Files (x86)\LyX 2.311
In a DOS windows, I have tried again to open
the program, i.e.,
C:\Program Files (x86)\LyX 2.3\bin>start Lyx
, so open Lyx 2.3 without problems
C:\Program Files (x86)\LyX 2.311\bin>start Lyx
, in this case nothing happens
I don't understand, I never had problems
installing the different versions of Lyx

If you try to start 2.3.1 from a command
prompt (what we used to call a
DOS window), what messages do you see?
Paul
Please bottom post when responding; it makes the
thread easier to follow.
If you run the command "dir L*.exe" in
C:\Program Files (x86)\LyX 2.311\bin, what do
you get?
Paul
I see what is shown in the screenshot
imagen.png
Does running "cmd /K Lyx2.3.exe" from that directory
also fail to start LyX?
Paul
The program started once, after rebooting the system
didn't work anymore.
Hi
I continue to try to see what happens with Lyx 2.3.1 on my
computer.
I've done a couple of tests.
1. The Lyx.2.3 version opens from the command DOS
C:\WINDOWS\system32>start lyx,
and the program starts without any problem.
Now I try Lyx2.3.1
C:\WINDOWS\system32>start lyx2.3,
but in this case appears a windows saying that it can't find
the lyx2.3 file.
2. Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\LyX 2.3\bin>
C:\Program Files (x86)\LyX 2.3\bin>start lyx, and the
program starts without any problem.
So,
C:\Program Files (x86)\LyX 2.311\bin>start LyX2.3, and
nothing happens.
Also,
C:\Program Files (x86)\LyX 2.311\bin>cmd /K Lyx2.3.exe, and
nothing happens.
I have installed Lyx2.3 ( LyX-230-Installer-6.exe, Uwe
version), and official Lyx 2.3.1 ( LyX-231-Installer-2.exe)
With the official installer LyX-230-Bundle-005.exe I have
the same problems what with the installer of Lyx2.3.1
Sergio
I wonder if having both 2.3 and 2.3.1 installed is causing
some sort of problem. I just installed 2.3.1 (installer 2)
successfully on Win 10 in a virtual machine. I first
uninstalled 2.3.0 completely (including using preferences),
then ran the 2.3.1 installer and generally accepted the
default settings. I did install for "all users" (2.3 was
installed just for me).
It might be worth uninstalling both 2.3 and 2.3.1 (including
user preferences -- if you have any you want to preserve, back
them up and try to replace them later once 2.3.1 is working).
Then install 2.3.1 with the current installer (the one you
mentioned above). If you can't get 2.3.1 to work, you can
always find the 2.3.0 installer at one of the mirror sites
listed at https://www.lyx.org/Download#toc11.
Paul
I did all that, at least twice. I completely uninstalled both
versions, then I installed the new version, but the problem
continued. I think there must be some problem with the official
installation. Anyway I'll try again
Sergio
Hi
I finally solved the problem with Lyx2.3.1.😁
The solution is very, very simple. What I did was rename the
Lyx2.3.exe executable file to Lyx.exe
To me it's a real mystery why this is so.
The important thing is that I will be able to enjoy this software.
Many thanks to those who contribute to the development of this
incredible program
Sergio
I can't imagine either why that would help, unless the original file
name contained a nonprinting character (like a null) or somehow had an
encoding problem. In any case, I'm glad you got it to work.
