WTF?!
First, this error message is *wrong*, since I don't have LyX
"installed". I use it in portable mode.
Can you give me more information please. What LyX version are you using? From where did you get the
portable LyX?
This error message should only occur if you try to install LyX 2.1rc1 over LyX 2.1rc1. This is
checked by the Windows registry. But a portable version does not write anything to the registry and
LyX 2.1RC1 was never released before so that it can also not be already installed.
Hmm, or did you once installed LyX 2.1beta? If so you must uninstall LyX 2.1beta first (these were
testing releases (for LyX-only not the installer nor LyX's dependencies) so that an easy upgrade is
not possible).
Second, what's that bullshittish idea
Could you please be a bit more polite. You apparently found a bug but there is
no reason to be abusive!
