Are you not seeing this problem with your setup? Lots of people ran into it. Check out this thread as well: http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg30994.html The problem is with DOS's ^M characters which the old sed and libintl do not handle well.

This is due to a nasty feature of the shell sh.exe included in the package.
If you installed lyx in C:/Programs/lyx, then any path of the form
C:/Programs/lyx/tmp/anything gets translated to %TEMP%/anything, where
%TEMP% is the windows temporary files location. To test this, try opening a
dos terminal and launching sh.exe, then try "cd C:/Programs/lyx/tmp" and see
where you end up
I have also Cygwin installed and noticed that if using cygwin pathnames this
does not occur, i.e., "cd /c/Programs/lyx/tmp" works (I mounted /c on C: under
cygwin). For those with Cygwin, this patch works:

Indeed. For this reason I am still using 1.3.3 with instant preview, as in
1.3.5 the script for the pixmaps generation cannot be launched due to a
"Exec format error" ???

Hi Ruurd; I see Uwe has already updated the wiki page to reflect your 1.3.5 version including the configure.bat update. Also, 1.3.5 incorporates an updated "configure" which now picks up Windoze versions of Acrobat and Ghostview (AcroRd32.exe and Gsview32.exe) if installed. Your mention of the inclusion of a newer version of Sed.exe has also addressed another of my questions. FYI, I did include the new sed.exe and fixed the path thing in configure.bat.

Re: LyX 1.3.5 for Win32 released
Finally, I came around to compiling a fresh LyX for Win32. Ruurd, many many thanks for this new version. It works very well. After testing the version, I updated the wiki site about LyXWin's setup http://wiki.lyx.org/pmwiki.php/LyX/WindowsSetup and have the following annotations: - It is still not possible to process a LyX file by doubleclicking on it in Windows file explorer. LyX opens and one can make changes, but the export fails. This comes due to the wrong folder separator: Opening a file within LyXWin gives e.g. "C:/lyx/test.lyx" which is correct. Opening the file by double clicking gives "C:\lyx\test.lyx" - The menu Help -> LaTeX Configuration fails as in LyXWin 1.3.3 - Unlike LyXWin 1.3.3 the lyx.exe doesn't contain the LyX icon (the creature called Lydia). OK, this not really relevant for LyX's functionality but helped to differ LyX files in the file explorer.
