Does lyx choke (i.e. fail to start) when it's installed in

installation attempt.  I tried reinstalling to "C:\" and that
works okay.  Looking through some of these older messages, it
seems that some folks don't have a problem installing to
"Program Files". If that's true, then what gives?

Due to the anti-space nature of latex, it is safer to install lyx
under a path without space. However, the developers have tried their
best to let lyx works as *usual* (?) under windows. As a result, lyx
1.4.2 should work under c:\program files. If lyx can not start under
your machines, it should be investigated.

So, what exactly happened when you start lyx when it is installed
under c:\program files?
