Trouble Installing LyX on a new Surface Book 2
Hello everyone, I’m a math instructor in a community college in Cupertino California. I just bought a new Microsoft Windows Surface Book 2. After having to remove and re-install LyX with Mik-TeX several times, I think it’s almost working. MikTeX appears to be working. I’m able to create and process documents using TexWorks. When I load a tutorial document in LyX and hit ^R, it tells me “No PDF viewer installed. Please Install a PDF viewer such as Adobe Reader.” After that, Windows told me "LyX2.3exe has stopped working” and closed the program for me. As I said, MikTeX seems to be able to find a PDF viewer fine, and of course the installer for LyX installed a copy of Ghostscript, so I’m baffled as to why this isn’t working, and why LyX froze. When I go into LyX and select Tools>Preferences>File Handling>File Formats, under Viewer it says “none.” When I bring down the dropdown list under viewer, the only other choice is custom. When I go under Tools>Preferences>Path and look under Path prefix, I see a long list that includes the directory for Ghostscript. $LyXDir\bin;$LyXDir\Python;$LyXDir\Python\Lib;$LyXDir\Perl\bin;$LyXDir\imagemagick;C:\Users\Misty\AppData\Local\Programs\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin\x64;C:\Users\Misty\AppData\Local\LyX 2.3\ghostscript\bin;C:\Program Files\Inkscape I’ve tried Tools>Reconfigure. I would very much appreciate help on what I should try next. Thank you, Rick Taylor

Did you see it? I hope we figure out the problem, because it would be great to have a LyX user testing with Persian. (I don't think any developer speaks a language that is RTL so we rely on users to help us fix any bugs). Best, Scott signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Hi, I am brand new to Lyx and I try to evaluate the best tool to make a french-persian dictionnary.

Standalone Class
Hi I'm trying to use the standalone class but it doesn't appear in the dropdown in the documents settings dialogue. When I look at Tools - Tex Information, standalone appears in both the latex classes and latex styles list. Also I can compile a raw *.tex file with pdflatex.
