Re: Lyx on XP crashes when trying to create a new file

[Michael Clerx]

Thanks for your continued interest, I can no longer check though since it's
working now. I installed the previous version (1.4) and then upgraded to the
new version again using the default installer and now everything is working
perfectly.
Another difference is that I left out a few of the dictionaries and only
installed english  dutch (previously I'd also installed spanish, french,
italian  german).

Thanks for your help!

 Hm, what happens when you open a console and then start LyX with the
 command

 lyx -dbg 3

Lyx on XP crashes when trying to create a new file

[Michael Clerx]

Hi!

I had to reinstall lyx a few days ago and ever since it crashes whenever 
I go to File--New with the following error message:


/lyx: Disabling LyX socket.
Assertion triggered in __thiscall lyx::support::FileName::FileName(const 
class std::basic_stringchar,struct std::char_traitschar,class 
std::allocatorchar  ) by failing check empty() || 
absolutePath(name_) in file D:\LyX\lyx-1.5.1\src\support\FileName.cpp:47


This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual 
way.

Please contact the application's support team for more information.
Completed/

I don't know if it's relevant but the path D:\Lyx is totally 
non-existent and unless the installer used it at some point I'd say it 
never existed at all. Any help on how to fix this issue would be greatly 
appreciated,


Michael

This is only the degug message path: LyX was compiled on a computer using the path 
D:\LyX.

It seems that soemthing is misconfigured. For a quick solution, uninstall LyX completely and try to 
reinstall using this installer:

ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.5.1/LyX-1.5.1-3-18-AltInstaller-Small.exe

If this also don't work, uninstall LyX again completely, uninstall also MiKTeX _completely_, 
uninstall Aspell, reboot, reinstall LyX using this installer:

ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.5.1/LyX-1.5.1-3-18-AltInstaller-Complete.exe

I hope it helps.
