textclass.lst is a generated file. To generate it you must have a unix shell environment such as MinSYS installed. Once you've installed this: cd C:\Program Files\LyX\Resources\lyx <Path to>\sh configure You'll probably also have to edit the lyxrc.defaults file to modify the path_prefix field so that LyX can find sh.exe in the future. Alternatively, having installed MinSYS, try to reinstall LyX (you should first uninstall it). The installer attempts to do all the above itself. Regards, Angus
