I recently had problems with installing the Lyx executable (1.4.2) under WinXP.

Whenever I tried to output a document Lyx stalled on the 1st Latex run. I
checked that Latex was ok from a DOS prompt, it was. I checked all the Lyx
paths, they were correct.
Probably MiKTeX installs some LaTeX-packages that are used in your
document in the background.
I was stumped, however, it seems that Lyx has to be on the same drive as Latex
for it to work properly.
No, I tested this and it works fine for me, no matter where MiKTeX or
LyX is installed. I tested this also for network drives.
What is the full path to your MiKTeX and what to your LyX?
A reinstall of LyX should solve the problem. You can also try to
reinstall LyX using this installer:

Please report me the result.
