Just checking ...

In the Project -> Properties menu, do you have "Uses BibTex" checked? Caused me NO end of hassle till I found that ...

Anyway, it turns out that I'd never changed the proxy settings in ...

Yeah, I tried that too ... in fact, that was the first one I tried. With this one, the installation went well, but then the program wouldn't run. Period. Just wouldn't go. That's why I tried the LyxWinInstaller instead.

Any thoughts as to where I could start looking?
