(NOTE: this error mentions pplatex not pdflatex. The only "View PDF" option I have is dvipdfm: Installation proceeds fine.ģ) Folders: in case it helps, I'm linking to screenshots of the foldersĤ) Errors: now, when I run this "Portable" LyX (by double clicking on LyX.exe - which I found out is the wrong way to go about it, update below), these are the errors I get. When asked to point to latex, I point to the latex.exe file located at LyXPortable\texmfs\install\miktex\bin.No issues.Ģ) Next, I download and install LyX Version 2.3.2-2 in the same LyXPortable folder. I do all of this on a USB flash drive stuck to my home computer (where I do have admin access to install LyX), with the intention that I will eventually be using this "Portable" LyX (on that USB flash drive) via my work computer.ġ) I download " Portable MikTeX" and install it to a LyXPortable folder on my USB flash drive. So I decide to "roll my own" Portable LyX using the current non-portable version of LyX and Portable MikTeX. I then find out that it's a real, known bug. So I try out various existing "Portable" versions of LyX available on the internet. apps that don't need to be " installed installed", and they've been a life-saver. Not much of a problem, I've discovered the world of "Portable Apps", i.e. I have a work computer that is completely locked down and I can't install most software in it (including LyX).
