I thought I'd upgrade to the most recent version of LyX (from 1.3.3)

Installer icon whereupon I received the message: "The operation could
not be completed. An unexpected error occurred (error code -10660)."
Any suggestions? A cursory trial of LyX shows that it runs and
displays pdf output. I'm rather surprised at that because it should
be looking the wrong place for preferences I thought. I didn't try
editing a file.

Doing a quick google search on 'error code "-10660" mac os x' (minus
the single quotes; the double quotes are needed if google is to search
for the number rather than require that it's absent) reveals that this
means OS X can't find the application that normally opens the document
(in this case the installer script). One cause may be that you have
deleted Terminal.app; another may be a corrupted cache somewhere.
Try either:
1. cleaning your caches with cocktail
(<http://www.macosxcocktail.com/>) or onyx
(<http://www.titanium.free.fr/english.html>) and double-clicking the
LyX Installer again, or
2. opening a terminal session manually, and running the LyX Installer
from there.
