In response to that stirring confidence, I have with great temerity setup Lyx
on my windows laptop. Undoubtedly it is a great advance over Ruuards port,
which was a great advance on the Cygwin altenative.
I have however the problem that when I set the viewer for pdflatex which lies
within Program Files, the View > PDFlatex option comes up with an error
message saying that it could not find the viewer in C:/Program. Hence, the
file name appears to stop at the blank space.
Am I doing something wrong, and is there a workaround, if I am not?
Have already tried to put a shortcut to the C directory but it does not have
the intended effect. TIA
Is Acrobat Reader your viewer? If so, you should be able to fill in
Edit | Preferences | File formats | PDF | Viewer with just 'acrord32'
and click Modify, then do the same for PDF (dvipdfm) and PDF (pdflatex).
If, for some reason, that doesn't work, then try typing in the full
path surrounded by double quotes, e.g.
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe"
