1.6.8/Win installers broken

Post by brachiaque »

Win7pro/64.

ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.6.8/LyX ... taller.exe
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.6.8/LyX ... Bundle.exe

Do not start out of the box. Something is missing in the ressource folder of Lyx.
Also, the installer-bundle brings a winapi error in the miktex installer and fails. (On XP)

I made it working on Win7 with the alternative installer then, but I can change the UI language to whatever, it remains english.
