<p><font size="+1"><font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">dear
all,</font></font></p>
<p><font size="+1"><font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">all
is well that ends well, but I am baffled, and since some of
you had similar problems I briefly recapitulate my story:<br>
</font></font>
</p>
<ul>
<li><font size="+1"><font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">problems
started at work (Win 10 pc). I started reinstalling Miktex
and Lyx from scratch but had to leave before process
finished.</font></font></li>
<li><font size="+1"><font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">got
home </font>
</font><font size="+1"><font face="Courier New, Courier,
monospace"><font size="+1"><font face="Courier New, Courier,
monospace">(Win 10 pc)</font></font> and had the same
problem: no PDF, no DVI, nothing, same error message.
Reinstalled everything and got same error again (that's when
I posted).</font></font></li>
<li><font size="+1"><font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">arrived
at work the following morning. Installation completed and
everything works fine. </font></font></li>
<li><font size="+1"><font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">went
home and nothing worked. Reinstalled again Miktex and Lyx
with no results: two identical procedures (full
reinstallation on pc's with the same OS) had different
outcomes. In one case Lyx compiles fine and in the other it
does not.</font></font><font size="+1"><font face="Courier
New, Courier, monospace"> <br>
</font></font></li>
<li><font size="+1"><font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">eventually
at home I uninstalled Miktex and installed Texlive,
reinstalled Lyx, and things are fine.<br>
</font></font></li>
</ul>
<p><font size="+1"><font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">Final
lesson: as advised on Lyx's website, Miktex is not fully
reliable. Texlive is less convenient to manage but more
stable.<br>
</font></font></p>
<p><font size="+1"><font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">bye</font></font></p>
