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"

Hi Paul
Many thanks indeed for that quick response. I had already tried just
putting in
AcroRd32.exe which I think is on the Path. However, could not seem to get
it to work as it wanted to look in C for it.
However, putting quotes on either side of the FSP did the trick.
Interestingly this sort of change does not require reconfiguring.
Do you think this is something obvious for most people - other than yours
truly - or should we have it in the section on the wiki
that deals with installing this version of LyxWin?
