These problems and possibly more implies that I don't give support that
LyXWin works together with TeXLive.
I bought the official TeXLive2005 DVD and fiddled aroud for three days
after I gave up to get it to work properly. I focus now on the MiKTeX
distribution.
To come back to an earlier discussion in this list about TeXLive and
ProTeXt (aka MiKTeXLive, if I can propose this new denomination),
proTeXt-1.3 IS a MikTeX distribution with the TeXLive 2005 files
(thats's why its size is 406 Mo compressed and near 700 Mo decompressed).
IMHO, the only argumnet for using TeXLive on Windows is the similarity of the
TDS on the various platforms (MiKTeX only knows texmf and localtexmf,
which is less powerful than the texmf, texmf-dist, texmf-var, texmf-local
structure of TeXlive).
this depends only to the way MiKTeX works. Unless no one did
a cab of any file/package it cannot be part of the texmf tree.
On the other hand it is true, that people uses about 30% of
the installed files, e.g. omega, ConTeXt, sources of tex, ...
So I would say, that MiKTeX is also powerful than a teTeX
or texlive installtion.
