LyX Win32 installation problem

[Nirmal Govind]

Hi.. I was trying to help a friend install Ruurd's win32 version on 
windows. Everything seemed to have gone fine but the configure 
script doesn't seem to be able to find the converters for latex to 
dvi, latex to pdf, ps to pdf etc. We installed MikTeX just before 
installing LyX and I verified that these converters were present. So 
right now the View menu is empty, and so is the export menu in LyX. 
Any ideas on what might be wrong and what I need to do? I don't have 
much experience w/ LyX on Windows so would appreciate any help... 
incidentally, I installed this version on my Windows machine a few 
weeks back and everything went fine. I followed the exact same 
procedure this time too.. only difference I can think of is that 
this friend's machine had some previous version of MikTeX installed, 
which we deleted before installing the latest version...

Thanks,
