At the very last step of the LyX setup, just before the dialogue box that
says "Completing the LyX Setup Wizard Congratulations! LyX has been
installed successfully." I had a window appear which said the following:

"Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Program C:\miktex\main\miktex\bin\latex.exe
A buffer overrun has been detected which has corrupted the program's
internal state. The program cannot safely continue to execute and must now
be terminated."

This was right after it was asking me to download a package. I don't know if
this has anything to do with LyX or the LyX installer, but I thought I would
report it anyway. Ahh! Then at the very next step (Launch LyX) I get this:
"LyX wasn't able to find any layout description!
Check the contents of the file 'textclass.lst' Sorry, has to exit"

I guess I'll look through the archive to see whether this has come up
already. But if someone knows a fix, please let me know!

cd C:\Program Files\LyX\Resources\lyx
<path to>\sh.exe configure --without-latex-config

Thereafter, try the latex configuration again ("sh configure") and see if your latex problems continue.
