LyX 2.4 & MikTeX problem

[Bernt Lie]

I just installed LyX 2.4.0 on my computer, and it worked.



Then I thought I should update MikTeX... Last time was in April 2024; there were a number of updates.



At the end of the update, I was told that the MikTeX console needed to close down.



When I tried to re-start it, I get this error message:

I'm then trying to *re-install* MikTeX, but am told I cannot do that in the default directory, because "the directory is not empty".



So I try to *un-install* MikTeX, but then get the same error message as above.



What on earth is going on?

OK... the installer software on Windows suggested I should remove the old version. The "scary" part of this was whether "removing everything" in the process includes removing things that makes LyX 2.3.x work...



Anyways, I un-installed LyX 2.4 RC4, and installed LyX 2.4. Both LyX 2.4 and LyX 2.3.7 seem to work.

On Slackware linux upgrading the existing version to a new one has no issues.
