I don't think the installer will delete them, but you may need to copy them over manually to the new user directory (if there is one). Of course, it's probably a good idea to back these up before installing the new version. And regularly for any reason.

LyX 2.3.6 Windows Installer
As noted in the announcement of LyX 2.3.6, there is now an updated installer available for Windows, including a 64 bit version. In order to update to 2.3.6 on Windows using the new installer, you should uninstall the previous 2.3 releases using the uninstaller or from within the control panel/Windows settings beforehand. Make sure to not install LyX 2.3.6 into an existing LyX directory by choosing an empty folder for the installation.

If those are not the same, then whichever is the older LyX will refuse to handle the newer format. Meanwhile, the newer LyX will upgrade an older file to the new format. Of course this is correct behaviour, I merely have to ensure that I have the same version in both places. Yes, I agree, it does not have to be the same beyond the minor version, i.e. at present any 2.3.x.

WARNING: updating LaTeX or LyX under Windows will currently break LaTeX installation
Dear LyX Windows users, yesterday I noticed a severe bug in the LaTeX system "MiKTeX" that LyX is usually using under Windows. The problem is that if you - upgrade MiKTeX or LyX or - install a new LaTeX package or - refresh the MiKTeX package database you will end up in a broken LaTeX with error messages like "unknown procedure entry point". I experimented around for more than 2 hours but could not find a workaround once LaTeX is broken. Even a reinstallation of LyX or MiKTeX doesn't help since the result are always broken DLLs and I could not find a way to prevent this. Therefore I strongly recommend not to change anything in your LaTeX setup nor to compile LyX documents that might use special LaTeX packages hat are not yet installed on your PC. Also don't install another version of LyX or reinstall LyX. I hope this issue will be fixed soon and report back. regards Uwe

Note that there are unofficial binaries available that have been made by a LyX developer, that have been tested, and that from what I've heard from users work well. The LyX 2.3.0 installers (both the bundle and the simple installer) need to automatically update your MiKTeX installation to the newest MiKTeX version (LyX 2.3.0 requires this on Windows).

In https://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/9778#comment:10 a work-around to force LyX to use the conversion rules is to remove a library file. I tried this on my Windows 10 (it's a DLL) and it breaks the GUI of LyX. Because SVG is a moving standard (1.1 is last official one and was released in 2011, 1.2 is still a draft, Tiny 1.2 exists as a separate standard, 2.x is still in draft mode, etc.), LyX users should have more control over how SVG is rendered with the tool they prefer.

But from my experiences with 2.2.3 in Windows, it doesn't seem to be working (anymore).

I don't have a lot of SVG files lying around, and the first ones I tested (all from the same source) generated exactly the same error messages Cris reported. Just now, though, I tried a few others I tracked down on my drive, including some .svgz files provided by LyX (in /usr/share/lyx/images on Linux systems) and the only .svg file I could find from LyX (/usr/share/lyx/doc/clipart/SVG-Drawing.svg). They all worked fine, as did a non-LyX SVG file I found in one of my folders. So apparently there's something "off" about the SVG files that caused LyX to spit up the error messages, and maybe there is similarly something different about Cris's images. Paul

The newest date modified is of January, and newest date created of march. But I've attached a list with all folder contents. Thanks. It shows that the perl interpreter is no in place - this worked at least. but when I compile a document with multiple indexes, I see only my text and no indexes. As the Perl interpreter is there, it can be that I need to deliver more of its plugins. To find this out, can you please send me your LyX test file? and do you have a older named ~\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\lib which contains the subfolders Exporter, File, Getopt, IO and warnings? Yes, that I have. In my program files folder though, not in my home folder. This is correct. Note that the installer is not yet ready to be used without admin priviledges. There are still many open issues but I'm currently working on this. thanks and regards Uwe nieuwbestand1.lyx Description: nieuwbestand1.lyx

After discussing this with the ImAgemagick developers, they changs it but I haven't found the time to test and implement this yet. The installer says that it can't install it, but it is in my lyx folder? Because as user you cannot write to HKLM in the registry. I installed lyx 203 w/o admin rights and I haven't got any problems with image conversion. This is because we used a self-compiled ImageMagick which doesn't require keys in HKLM. But this is no proper solution, because we would then not always up to date with the latest IM version. Moreover we should not fork programs if there are tiny problems but try to encourage the developers to fix this. Check what version of IM you have in your 2.0.3 and what in the testing 2.0.4 and you see that yours is outdated (contains even security issues). However, with this installer I have. Give me some time. regards Uwe
