Actually, it seems the name "platex" is used for two different things.
One is the platex "package" for Polish language and the other is the
platex "system" for Japanese language. Unfortunately, the one uploaded
on CTAN seems to be the former.
Thanks for investigating this.
The procedure to use Japanese platex is to specify "platex" _binary_ in
Tool->Preferences->Converters->(latex converter) in stead of specifying
"latex". (So, it's an alternative of the latex system.)
OK. Does the platex system also have a file "latex.exe" that is in the same folder as the
"platex.exe"?
It sounds realistic not to offer a graphical (or a dialog, whatever)
Support for this is easy. I can implement that the Windows-installer checks for "platex.exe" instead
of "latex.exe" when you choose japanese as LyX's menu language.
it seems that MikTeX is already supporting platex:

But anyway, could you please send me a japanese .tex-file?
OK, but as I wrote in my last email, we can only support packages that
are in CTAN.
In that case, the japanese package need not be on CTAN because it is
manually called from the preamble, need it?
This has nothing to do with it. CTAN is the official TeX/LaTeX file and package repository. Here you
can download everything related to TeX. So if you get perhaps a .tex-file that uses packages that
are not installed on your system, you can go to CTAN and download and install it from there.
