Thanks Uwe. This is with both the normal (large) and alternative installers. The normal small that downloads didn't work as it couldn't connect to the server(?).
I'm wondering now if that might just be the final message. The [NEXT] button becomes active but after that Lyx outputs a message saying the MiKTeX setup wizard was not completed. I had assumed it was a MiKTex install issue but I've now run the MikTex install by itself, followed by the Lyx install and it all seems ok. I guess I was just expecting some more positive confirmation that the MikTex install had completed successfully than the enabling of the [NEXT] button. And that was compounded by Lyx complaining. There's maybe something here that needs looking at? i ------ Original Message ------ Received: 04:48 PM COT, 04/11/2009 From: Uwe Stöhr <uwesto...@web.de> To: "Ian S.
