Here it is on german:

LangString FinishPageMessage "${LYX_LANG}" 'LyX sollte nun installiert sein. Jedoch haben einige Nutzer berichtet, dass das Konfigurationsskript nicht ausgeführt werden konnte und LyX daher nicht startet. Die Fehlermeldung lautet in diesem Fall "reporting a missing textclass.lst file". Um den Fehler zu beheben, führen Sie bitte den Befehl $\'sh configure$\' aus Windows Kommandozeile aus, wenn Sie sich im Verzeichnis "~\LyX\Resources\lyx" befinden.'

Thank you.

I don't think it is good to inform the user about this problem. Most users will definetively be confused by this complicated message. (Average Win users don't know what "sh configure" means.) How often does this problem appear so that is that important to inform _every_ user this way?

LOL.
