The best one for windows is jabref (http://jabref.sourceforge.net/), it is GPL. The problem is that it requires java, so this will be an additional dependency for your installer. Most of the windows users have Java so this might not be a problem. Maybe you could try to compile it with gcj (try thisiscool-gcc: http://www.thisiscool.com/gcc_mingw.htm ) Regards, Abdel. > > regards Uwe >

RE: lyxwininstall 0.4 doesn't detect my M iktex settings
I forgot to precise that I used the small installer. I have checked the network one and it works fine. I plan to have miktex on the network for my colleagues anyway so I'll just use this one for now. Question: is it possible to add a kind of config file to the network installer that will specify the network path to Miktex? I know that the perfect solution is to try to teach them but I prefer the path of least resistance and a fully automated, network-base installation process would be perfect ;-) Thanks, Abdel. -Original Message- From: YOUNES Abdelrazak (M3SYSTEM) To: 'Uwe Stöhr '; 'lyx-users@lists.lyx.org ' Cc: YOUNES Abdelrazak (M3SYSTEM) Sent: 11/30/05 9:10 AM Subject: RE: lyxwininstall 0.4 doesn't detect my M iktex settings Hello, I have checked my configuration: Latex.exe is in D:\program\texmf\miktex\bin "D:\program\texmf\miktex\bin" is not in: HKey_Local_Machine\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment:Path But it is (once) in: HKey_Users\HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1085031214-1580436667-839522115-4110\Envi ronment:Path I guess the reason is that I have installed Miktex for myself only and not for all users.

Hm, you used the Small version of the installer and it aborts the installation because it didn't find MiKTeX, right? If the path " D:\program\texmf\miktex\bin" is really in the PATH variable, could you please check if there is the file "latex.exe" and look in the registry HKey_Local_Machine\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment if the path to the latex.exe is there in the entry "Path" It detects your MiKTeX when the path is in this registry key. Ah, perhaps you have two entries in the PATH variable that contains the a folder "miktex". If yes move the actual path at the first position of the PATH. (The problem is that MiKTeX doesn't clean up the PATH when it is deinstalled so that you have more than one entries when you reinstall it. MiKTeX sets the actual one at the first position so that the installer will use the first PATH entry with the folder "miktex" as folder to latex.exe. The next installer version will check every PATH entry with a folder "miktex" for the latex.exe). Please report me what was the problem. If nothing helps, use the Network version of the installer and set the path to latex.exe manually. thanks and regards Uwe This message and any files transmitted with it are legally privileged and intended for the sole use of the individual(s) or entity to whom they are addressed.

One additional information: I have just installed Python 2.4.2. Maybe this is the problem? Anyway, I have re-installed 1.3.6 and overwrite the bin directory with the one from 1.3.7pre4 installation.

lyxwininstall 0.4 doesn't detect my M iktex settings
Hello, My Miktex install is very complete so I don't want to download the full package. The path to latex.exe is in the system wide path (D:\program\texmf\miktex\bin), is there anything I could do to tell the installer it's there? Maybe adding a registry key or something? Thanks in advance, Abdel. OT: Is there a chance that a package with lyx 1.4 is done ? I am very much interested in the XML DocBook capability.
