This should not occur by simply launching lyx. Seems your tetex installation is corrupted. After a fresh install of tetex I had no problems (apart the Win32 pplatex thing). Note that the postinstall script for tetex takes a long time to complete and you should not interrupt setup.exe while it is executing. Check whether you have /etc/postinstall/post-texmf.sh.done (meaning that the script completed). Instead, if you have /etc/postinstall/post-texmf.sh (without the .done), that is an indication of an incomplete installation. In this case, you have two options: either run by hand the script and then rename it by appending .done, or try reinstalling the tetex packages. -- Enrico
