I have freshly installed the lastest Lyx 1.4.2 r1, using the net installer.
I can creates docs and view DVI without problems. Looks great. But if I try to Export (or View) to HTML I get an "error occurred whilst running htlatex" errors. Firstly error is that htlatex still has problems with paths with spaces in it, so in Lyx opts I have to change Temp (and prob Working) directory from the Windows defaults to something like c:\docs and c:\tmp When that is fixed I get the show stopper error where it shows a temp file name (cut off screen tho). Previously in 1.4.1, this would complete hang htlatex (for me) and I'd have to kill the htlatex.exe process to recover. For Exporting to Word I get a similar error, but this shows just the file name (original without full path, not a tmp file) followed by args. Exporting to OO.Writer there is no error, but no output either. Exporting to PDF is fine. Now this thread talks about same problem and someone gives a workaround, but that work around doesn't seem to work. http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg48496.html If I type that dos command I get this error: "htlatex: the batch script could not be found." I have tried adding C:\texmf\miktex\bin to my PATH. Also this guy has a similar dos command that also gives me same error. http://www.goland.org/lyx/#x1-90008 If it really is a known bug, can someone (a dev?) possibly give some explanation and possible a work around that works. I have looked in the dev mail achive a bit, see some sorta related hits, but nothing concrete. A workaround/fix that allows me to still use the File -> Export would be niiiice :) Cheers Dean.
