The LyX configuration script does not know that:-) It checks for many 
converters and adds them to the configuration. Fortunately the message box 
is only annyoing, it is correctly detected that platex is not usable, and 
the rest of the configuration looks fine from the log.

This warning means a broken miktex installation. Please report that to 
miktex, if it installs platex.exe then it should also install the needed 
dependencies (most likely a dll is missing).
