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!

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


Any help on how to fix this issue would be greatly appreciated,


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.

regards Uwe

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_string,class 
std::allocator > &) 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.

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
