I don't know exactly what "unpack-and-run"-version of ELAN refers to but I don't think LyX has anything comparable. It's just an application ready to run on both intel and powerpc processors. I cannot tell how this can fail on Lion. Especially since it did work on Lion already as you said. I'm not sure what you did to check your LyX installation. Do you have the LyX-2.0.0 disk image to check if it runs? Stephan
