I had different kind of problems on different machines (all with proTeXt-1.3 installed): - on one XP machine, installation went flawless, - on another one, it took 5 minutes to find pgf, and the information line did not say "yes" or "no". However the next configure went OK (I mean, found pgf quickly allright), - on a 2000 machine, i got exactly your behaviour, I got the message about lyxrc.default ai installation time, and no lyx configuration was run (and thus no user dir was created). Is seems that configure fails so early that lyxrc.defaults is not created, which stops configuration. As 1.3.7 installed fine, I use the following workaround: - copy 1.3.7 lyxrc.default to 1.4.1 system tree (in C:\Program Files\LyX141\Resources) - run sh configure from there in a Msys window. I guess Uwe will investigate, anyway it seems that the lyxrc.default file disappears completely in 1.4.2. HTH -- Jean-Pierre
