Delurk, and lualatex.exe
G'day everyone I'm trying out various LaTeX editors and I notice that when I run LyX, a program named lualatex.exe tries to access the internet. Why? I used the 200 MB installer file, which has everything bundled into it, and MiKTeX downloaded an additional 12 MB of updates during the installation procedure. But the program lualatex.exe tries to access the internet when I run LyX, not during the installation. Does anyone know what lualatex.exe is and why it needs to access the internet? I'm using Windows 7 HP 64-bit SP1. Thanks Samuel

Lualatex is one of the latex versions that you can use. It is to have it run when typesetting a document. Do you use special fonts? I assume that miktex did not download everything it needs yet. I really do not like this autoloading of packages business... JMarc

Although, now that I think about it, the first time you run LyX it automatically opens a LaTeX file in itself, with an introductory message. Now that I run LyX for the second time, lualatex.exe no longer attempts to connect to the internet, because no document is open in it. Samuel

I am not sure about what happens, but as far as I know lualatex.exe is a safe program. Google Update and Adobe Update are also safe programs :-) that access the internet and do all kinds of stuff without the user's say-so. My concern wasn't with whether it was a trojan or not, but with whether it would download additional updates. I wanted to know (initially) how large the actual installer for LyX is (including all required updates). Samuel
