Dear all, I try to install LyX on windows 7 on top of a fresh (and fully updated) MikTeX 2.9 (32 bit). The installer updates some MikTeX files, and then claims to be finished (successfully). If I remember correctly, then previously LyX ran a full set of tests, which took >10 seconds. When I try to start LyX after installation, it complains that Lyx will only have minimal functionality because no textclasses have been found.... ". It offers three options: reconfigure, "without latex" or continue. All three fail. LyX starts, but layout files cannot be found. The userprofile directory merely contains "cache" and "session". It seems that something (python script??) crashes during the installation and reconfiguration. Is there a log file or can I run the reconfigure script from command line to see where it goes wrong? Regards, Ward Romp ----------------------------------------- It would be nice, as the reporter suggests, to have this log available through lyx. What do others think? Regards, -- José Abílio
