Problem description located at the bottom.
Version of LyX: 2.1.3
System: Windows 7
Other software: Acrobat version 2015.008.20082
I don't know what is meant by listing libraries installed on
the system.
I followed the beginning instructions to the Tutorial to
create my first LyX document. I did everything it says trying
each of the CTRL+R options (the toolbar button, the menu
option and the shortcut keys). None of them work properly;
Acrobat opens but does nothing visible and I find no files
named newfile1.* other than my LyK document, newfile1.lyk.
Any assitance would be appreciated.
Please open the messages pane (View> Messages Pane) and then try
previewing using whatever method you like. Copy and paste the
output from the messages pane into a reply to this message.
Maybe it's best to try previewing the Tutorial itself. Then we
know we have a valid document.

This all looks correct, though I'm not sure about the last line. That
doesn't look like a Windows command. So it appears to me as if the
problem is with how Acrobat is being called.
Please try exporting instead of previewing: File> Export> PDF
(pdflatex). This should create the file newfile1.pdf in the same
directory as newfile1.lyx. See if you can view it. If so, that will
confirm that Acrobat is the issue.

PS Please reply to the list. I'm not on Windows and so may run out of ideas.
